F*** You, 2009!


 You're done! A few more hours and it'll be 2010, which I fully expect to be shiny, exciting, and full of leopard geckos*.

In that spirit, here's the usual list of resolutions:

1. Turn Wild into a sleek fighting machine of a book so that my agent can sell it. Yay!
2. Write the sequel to AFTERLIFE, Afterburn, and see if Damnation Books would like it.
3. Rewrite the first Scarlett book and make it so awesome that it conquers the world.
4. Escape the Day Job of Firetop Mountain (I have an interview on Tuesday, so fingers crossed).
5. Move house. I cannot spend another winter in the Cowshed. It's freezing, expensive, and depressing. I want to be out of here by the summer.

Those are the things I absolutely want to achieve. There are things I will hope for that are a bit beyond my control - like SILVER KISS being an amazing hit, etc - but we shall see. I'm going to try and focus more on what is in my control in 2010, rather than making myself miserable by expecting unreasonable things from myself.

Anyway, here's to everyone having a Happy New Year's Eve, whatever you're doing, and an absolutely fabulous 2010! May hover cars and success find you all!

*Kyle and I were in Pets At Home earlier and OMG I want leopard geckos! They're so freaking cute!

With a name like Firetop Mountain, I'd expect a volcano. But it probably isn't ;-)

If there was a volcano involved, I might be interested in staying!
