I typically do not make resolutions, but set myself some goals for the upcoming year. I don’t keep resolutions, but I’m pretty good at trying to achieve goals. :) I also tend to be very…work-oriented. (I’ve had people ask me to talk more about my life on my blog, and a bit less about writing. The terrible thing is, I *do*. This should give you an idea of how much life I have outside of writing!) For example, the one revolution I *totally* failed to keep in 2007 was the…

I had a couple of granny smith apples. I made applesauce with them. I burned it. Each of these things finished at a completely different time, and because the applesauce pan had…
questions from the peanut gallery
Someone asked if I had any plans to finish CENTENARIAN and when it would be published. Yes, I do plan to finish it sometime (that would be one of the projects I’d *like* to do, but have no idea if I *will* do in 2008).
