First post of the year and... it's time for thanks!!!

Thanks to enchanted_jae, footballgirl, drusillas_rain, coffeejunkii and oconel for the Christmas cards!!!! *love to you all*

Many many thanks to oconel and kaalee for the gifts in the userinfo *loves*.

Second thing on the docket - merry_smutmas - the reveal is happening on Jan 4 and I cannot wait to see who wrote what. I had an amazing experience, especially for my first time doing it. I was truly blessed with so much awesomeness during this fest and I cannot tell you how much that meant to me. From the recipient to idea of the story (inspired by a cross stitch magazine and a kit I saw in it) to the writing to the reaction, it was abso-frikken-lutely amazing all around. There were so many awesome stories in all the holiday fests that I received my wishlist request of "more awesome stories". Smutmas had me in tears and just overwhelmed with love and I cannot say thank you enough for that.

Third thing - time for resolutions. I have a few -

1.) To finally write my book. GAH!!! DO IT ALREADY.
2.) Lose the rest of this weight, darnit!
3.) Be nicer to people.
4.) Say 'fuck' less.

Then I wanted to add another one so here goes, you all get to help. green_queen did this and I'm tempted to steal her idea... she resolved, in 2006, to watch 100 movies she hadn't seen before. So, um, yeah, poll time -

That would be a book every 3 or 4 days, I'd be very impressed. I watch a movie, maybe once every two weeks. How about write a 100 drabbles?

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I read 10 books in 5 days... I think I might be able to do it but we'll see.

I'm tempted to do it now, just to impress you.

Drabbles? I suck at drabbles. No way I can do it. I'm impressed that people can tell a story in 100 words.

Oh, that's a great idea - but then again, I love writing drabbles. Yeah, they can be very challenging, but in a good way.

For one thing, they've really forced me to be more discplined as a writer and pare away anything that doesn't belong, which is a practice I find myself following even now that I'm writing longer fics.

Maybe you could just try writing ten. :)
