"Get beyond being embarrassed by your dreams, and start putting them down on paper. Then, share them. That’s the only way, I know of, to make them happen." So says Chuck Palahniuk in the postscript to one of his short essays of writing tips over at LitReactor. Well, he's right about the embarrassment part, anyway, so let's see how this works out. This year I will:
- (Self) Publish two volumes of short stories — one SF, the other straight fiction.
- Commission a graphic novel based on an idea I'm currently fleshing out and (self) publish that.
- Complete a full-length script for Script Frenzy in April, and also work up another idea I have for a short film into something shootable.
- Complete the novel(la) I've been planning for NaNoWriMo in November.
I may even keep score this time — although it's always hard when there's no one around to take an interest in your work. Let's see how I do.
