I don’t think I made too many promises at the end of 2009 that I actually kept, but the fact remains that I didn’t really keep the one I wanted most to: daily posts. After the move, I wound up inundated with the day-to-day stuff that usually comes with a new place. Thing is, though, I’m wondering if this isn’t going to work out like 2007 did: I had a rough patch at the end of 2006, but 2007 started with a lot of promise and a few opening shots right out of the gate that went so fantastically well….

Anyway. I also didn’t finish Frangible Time, nor did I get any work done on the next book in the Indigo series. Again, shades of ’06/’07. I can’t say whether or not I want to do a full repeat of ’07 with regards to finishing a story in the spring and writing the Indigo book in the fall, but that’s currently the plan. At least, most of the plan.

There’s also the standard resolutions– lose weight, eat better, etc. etc.– but I always try those, and I always fail. I figure at the very least I’ll leave those as “do better towards”, and if I do accomplish them, so be it.

Finally, one which is going to be very, very hard but quite doable is to spend less on games. My backlog is already too large, and in truth there’s only a few games left that I really want to play right away. I can get just as much enjoyment out of them by waiting for price drops and two-for-one deals on the games that I want for “someday”. Granted, I’m still getting certain games on day one… but very few of them in 2011. So far. That’s likely to change as soon as Spaceworld, E3, and TGS roll around, or if a new Super Robot Wars game gets announced.

So that said, I hope you had a great 2010, and that 2011 treats you well.
