There will be others but I think these will be my main goals for this year.

Get Healthier:

Its not about losing weight (though that’s part of it), or exercising regularly (though exercise will have to play a part), or anything to do with body image. As much as I like being chubby I can’t deny that I’ll be turning 50 in 2023 and have to take better care of myself.


Make time to write:

I have done very little writing the last 3 years. I’m sorry to say many of the stories I had planned back in 2019 have likely died on the vine. Some might be able to be resurrected and there are at least 3 live ideas in progress. But I need to make regular time for myself to write.


Become more social again (offline):

I spent the first 43 years of my life being an total introvert with almost no social life outside family functions. Then I finally broke out, and with a lot of work I made great progress becoming increasingly social. Then COVID came and isolation started. It felt way too easy to retreat into my old ways. And while I have remained social online with a few friends it feels like I have grown distant to a few of them (some very close ones). Part of this was being unable to see you in person, even if it was only once a year. I’m sorry for that and will try to fix the distance between us.

I’ll be attending cons again in 2023 and in the spring restarting gaming events in person.


Happy New Year to you all.
