There they are, my 2004 goals. Silly me, I wrote ’em in 2003. No wonder I couldn’t find ’em. :) 1. to write 400K words of fiction (accomplished: 304,700) 2. to sell 4 books (accomplished: 3) 3. to bike 1500 miles (accomplished: only a few hundred) 4. to walk 575 miles (accomplished: 540.5) 5. to draw 30 drawings (accomplished: like 3?) 6. to read 104 books (accomplished: 102 (doh!)) 7. to lose 30 pounds (accomplished: 15; 20 since Nov. 2003) Not too shabby. :)

There’ve been about 25 people here every day, which is a little (re: a lot) shocking for somebody accustomed to seeing maybe 25 people in a month. I’m sort of worn out. o.O I’ve gotten a fair bit of writing done. 5 chapters so far, and I’m going to try to get another one done today.…
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! We have been to my folks’ house, where we opened all the loot (and there was MUCH loot!). We have been to Allison and Marge’s house, where more loot was opened. In a few hours, Ted’s parents will be here, and yet MORE loot shall be opened. The joy of rampant consumerism! Actually, it’s been a very nice day. I’m sad that I won’t see Deirdre and Gavin and Breic any more while they’re here. Snif. :( I have paid the bills that need paying now, before the…
