New Years Resolutions...
Otherwise known as 'The List of Things To Do'.
1) Get more stuff in my Cafe Press shop. I'm paying for it; need to do something with it.
This includes:
a) More stuffs (designs), and cleaning up what's already there. I managed to sell one printed journal last year, and that's it. *g* (But hey, at least I sold one).
b) Putting myself on an art schedual. As in, I start producing a new design every week or so for consumption until I get a decent selection going. And then I keep making stuff at leisure.
(PS: Link to my store is on the side of my journal, here. For those unfamiliar with how the pricing works, CafePress has a base cost for their products, and then shopkeepers tag onto that what they, essentially, want to make in reguards to profit. I set mine up for 3-5 dollars over the base pricing CafePress gets back. So...yeah. Undercutting myself here until I find a better option. Which will be later. For now, this is practice for the big time.)
2) Seriously quit picking at story ideas and do something with them. Goal? Get something, anything, ready for possible publishing by the end of the year. If it's the joint project, great. If it's something I do on my own, great, too. Whatever. Time to quit loafing, though, and hamstringing myself into doing shit-all. I'm twenty years behind and should have been famous by now. Time to get cracking. *g*
3) I need to make a schedual. I have/had one for work that I followed until it was like breathing for me. Now I get it done, and have loaf time. I'm just plain going to have to make it this way at home too so that I don't get distracted by The Shinies. Shinies are nice, but they won't get me where I'm going. And if that means I even have to schedule my loafing time until doing the out-of-nine-to-five job is as second nature as the current nine-to-five, so be it. Discipline. I'm capable of it. Time to use it.
4) There is nospoon, Uh, I mean, '4'.
5) Live.
6) Dance.
7) Have fun. After I do all that other stuff. Or maybe even while I'm doing it. *g*
