Official New Year's resolutions
- Recommit myself fully to writing & doing more research.
- Try to be happier.
- Lose the fifty lbs. and get back 200 (thank god I'm tall).
- Look into the Art Institute Online and return emails/calls from their Game Design program director. Game Design & Animation would compliment my soul nicely and open even more doors to a career, not a job. This could be a good stepping stone for my pulp novels/comics to be.
- Replace my PS2, Xbox and the games I've sold.
- Get back to collecting DC Comics. I've slacked off a lot. Realizing that individual issues would be too expensive, I think collecting trade paperbacks would be easier on the wallet.
- Replace my AlphaSmart NEO word processor with the Dana.
- Try to find John D.'s email address and work him about setting up a goth rock night at Valentine's. Their EBM night is just... Well, they let ppl. 18 and up in. That's reason alone.
- Try to be less bitter.
- Work on the pitch to Dynamite Comics and Moonstone Books for the Red Phantom (golden age/pulp horror & adventure), Blue Spider (silver age/cold war), Avenging Skull (golden age/pulp adventure), the Black Rook (silver age/cold war)
- Take another online class at the Gotham Writers' Workshop in Sci-Fi and/or Horror, Adventure, Espionage.
- Try to be less catty, vindictive, negative.
- Get a new computer for when I decide to attend the Art Institute Online (I was going to get one anyway but with a new PC, I can run some of the more powerful graphic programs). Why AI? Well way back when I started working with Photoshop, someone from that school branch in San Fran saw my stuff on ArtWanted.com and wanted me to enroll. Unfortunately, I didn't have the funding to pack up and move out west. Imagine my surprise when I got contacted by them a few weeks ago. Turns out they kept my file on record and still want me to attend. Maybe I should look into grants and the like again. Could offset the cost of the school fees, etc.
- Get organized with my bills again.
- Be more aggressive in getting web/graphic design jobs.
- Be happier.
