My previous journal entry was written not long after I had graduated from college. I was establishing myself at my job, and unfortunately that left little time for creative expression. Combined with other life events and a failed attempt to expand into other social media, I was pulled away from FA. I'm sorry I did that to myself, because this has been the best online community I've ever been a part of.
Now... I have started a larger writing project and plan on returning to FA to stay. Additionally, although I sneer at the tradition, I have made myself a new year's resolution: I am going to submit 52 stories to FA this year. They will most likely be super-short ( less than 2000 words each ), PLUS my bigger project once I'm happy with it ( this is much MUCH longer). And I plan on 12 journals, that's once a month ( counting this one ).
I have made the time, and I know that at the very least having this goal will make me a happier person. Honestly I don't know if I can... but I do have the will.
