The Future- about mine (you can call them resolutions!)

I know what you, my followers are thinking.. What is this all about and how it might affect you. I assure you, it won't ever affect you, should you let it. While this does sound ominous, it isn't. Ok? Here goes--
I've put some thought into what I am going to do from now on.. in the fandom.
1. I know I have offered my friendship bracelets and have decided to continue the tradition of making them for new friends that I meet at Conventions. However, the rules are simple here, you have to be my friend to get one for free, and if you want your friends or mates to get one free from me they have to want to be my friend in return.. Simple enough? I'd like to think so!
2. I am thinking of taking up basic photography as a side hobby, call it a new thing I am going to explore. Perhaps I can tie this into my newest commission idea- Making Calendars, Greeting Cards, Contact Cards..as well as other commssionings!
3. I am not going to be the "push over" I used to be.. I am going to be the person I want to be. Also means, I am going to cons which interest me, and if I do pay and secure a room for said con, I am going to have my rules and they all have to be abided by. No quibbles, no argument, no drama. I acknowledge I made commitments this year for the following year, and I intend to follow through with them. And those people know pretty well who I promised about this, no need remind me on this thread.. If you want to talk about it, it's fine.. just asking you don't bring up matters between you and me out in the public.. I mean, if I had a private issue with you, I'd take it privately over Note or IM or other means, its only common courtesy, ask you to do the same.
4. I am going to try and apply myself to finish Wolf Song, just not at the beginning of 2013, like I really wanted to. I am finding the more I pressure myself into this, it only heightens my writers block, and tends to make this effort counter-productive. I know I have many followers wanting to see the finished product, but this is my project here. Can only do so much, am a wolf in a human's body, unfortunately.. (LOL)
5. I am probably going to be working at my job most of the year gearing for the rest of my future, and trust me, I am frankly scared of it. Just hope I end up making the right decisions down that path into happiness for all of us.. Trust me, it'll be rewarding for all of us in the long run. but bear in mind.. when I do go to a con.. its a vacation for me.. which is why I want to go to at least 2 cons a year, minimum..
6. I am going to try to be there as much as I can for each and every one of you. Just know I will not and SHALL NOT pick favorites. If you really do seek my help, I'll try to do my best for you. But then like I say.. I don't give advice, more I call them options or directions. Simply put, I am sure you are all mature enough to make decisions on your own, and I cannot be responsible if you took something the wrong way and got hurt in some way shape or form.
7. My Emotions. Yes, they can be raw at times, I still may have the occasional rants, frustrations here, but I can totally promise you all that none will be directed to you. You are my friends, my family. Again if I did have a problem with any of you, I'd go directly to you. And if I cross a line with you, do tell me.
Ok, got that off my furry chest.. any others will be posted as the need arises.. I am so thankful for each and every one of you, my friends. I can honestly say this with a smile that I am your friend, always and forever.. and to those that I have already met in person-- glad to have met you.. to those I haven't.. well.. make it a point to go and see me or someday I might come to see you!
Much love from me--

*hugs the black wolf*... Yes I do think you need to take it slow on Wolf Song... the harder you try, the worse it will be... just let it come to you naturally ... you might be cutting your grass and something come to you, this is great. Although we have never really "met" I consider you a friend... I think I could tell you anything and it would stay with you... I'm really hoping to meet you in person at AC 13 as this would make me very happy. *hugs*. SB.
