That’s totally the face I’m making right now. I swear it. And here’s a haiku about that face:

squinty mcsquinter
stop fussing the way you do
think about bunnies

There. Now I feel better.

And onto the plans….!

1. I’m going to write a book. Err, publish a book? Make a book from things I’ve already written? Can you feel my absolute confidence in the project oozing from the screen? But, yes, I am. I’m deciding now on themes and expansion and how to spiderweb it all together into something coherent, thoughtful, buy-worthy and solid. Not just I MADE MY BLOG INTO A BOOK GET IT WHILE YOU CAN… because, hello, you can get it all online. Save for the posts I delete, of course, but you didn’t want those anyway, I promise.

   If you have theme ideas, posts you think should be included, or just a general YES, I WANT TO BUY IT! affirmation, speak now or… you know, speak later. I’m open.
   
   

2. I’m embarking on a life plan beginning next week, focusing on two major areas of my life: health and finance. Now, on the health side, I do have certain issues I won’t be able to conquer with even a super excellent plan, but I think there are lots of things I could do to increase my daily wellbeing. Increased fitness is one of those things, as much as the idea of increasing my output sounds rather UGH! to me this week.

   BUT! I would love some longer, leaner muscles… I would love to make my curves proportional to my wee frame within… I would love to feel more confident and energetic in my own skin. I think that’s worth the effort. To that end, I think I’m going to finally buy the new running shoes I’ve needed for a while (my current shoes pinch my feet) — maybe some MBT shoes? What do you think? Pretty much anything they are designed to remedy has been wrong with me at some point or other, physiologically (I’m hard on this bod!) I also am lugging my sorry ass back to the doctor to adjust a few elements of my treatment to get some better results… more rapid change. Other self care stuff? Drinking enough water. Stretching. Cutting down on coffee (OH MY GOSH!) And perhaps dressing according to my actual levels of sass, non? Yeah!

   As far as finance goes, I’m going to be a self-nazi, and nail down my saving goals for the next two years. Also? How I plan to find a sugar daddy. Ahem.

3. I’m going to aggressively seek out more freelance work. I think this is good for both my bankbook and my self-identity as a writer. Yes — I DID mean to sound fruity about that, thank you. But seriously… I know what I’m capable of. Time to haul ass and get published like a good girl… under my own name!

So. Ideas welcome, either in comments or via email. And of course, you can just say LOVE YOU! GO FOR IT! because I’m going to, so you might as well.

WOO!
