It’s a good week to wrap up the year with, from my perspective: I was able to put in a full week of freelancing (i.e. 18 to 20 hours) for the first time since November (this includes working part of tomorrow, but I have faith I’ll deliver).
Atoms for Peace is ready to go to Big Pulp, though I’ll give it a final review and trim next month.
I got a ton of stuff watched for The Enemy Within, including episodes of Kindred: The Embraced—yes, the “vampires among us” element does merit at least some mention in my book (and the DVDs are out of my price range, so I’m glad Chiller Channel ran a marathon of them Monday).
I’ve applied for writing (and other) jobs in the Raleigh-Durham area—several this month, one new one today.
On the downside, Kernel of Truth needs more work. I’m not sure what, because everything seems to work, but my gut is screaming that I’m missing something. Much as I’d like to send it out, it’ll have to wait and hope I can figure out the problem soon.
And Love That Moves the Sun was supposed to come out this month, but the anthology is running late. Though I won’t freak yet—I’m used to delays in the short-story world.
As for the year as a whole? Hmm … I launched another nonfiction book (and one I’m much more passionate about than the parental-finances book I did in 2008), wrote in a lot more fiction than 2008, did one last dinner-theater show and, of course, got engaged to TYG. So I’ll mark 2009 up as a win.
