Happy New Year!
Or, as a good friend of mine puts it, Sappy Blue Beer!
It's a New Year, and who knows what will come during 2007. I'm still awaiting "The Departing Day" so that I can see how that whole situation pans out. The results of my other poetry submission and "The Dreamer" are still hanging in the mists somewhere, awaiting the response. All in all, I'm curious to see what happens with last year's projects, while looking ahead to this years. A couple of prospects are the Prism Short Fiction contest that ends this month, as well as the Malahat Long Poem contest. Whether I'll have the time and resources to enter both isn't certain, but I am hoping to try for at least one of them before the month is out.
On other notes, work at the Library System is bustling, with new staff on the horizon (Horizon, meanwhile, is apparently not on the horizon... a piece of weak humour that only those of you from the library community will appreciate). My wife, Kelly, has started a new job to coincide with the New Year, and we hope that it will turn out to be an exciting fresh start that is both much needed and well deserved.
I'm also hoping to see more of my friends in the coming year. We've plans to try and organize regular get togethers, which I really hope comes about - the one thing I really miss about living in the city is hanging out with my old friends from "the gaming days". (Incidentally, Glenn, if you catch this blog post... I'm getting your e-mails but don't appear to be able to send any successfully to you!)
As you may have also noticed, Writing in Shadows has branched out in the New Year to include other subject areas than just my sporadic writing. At some point over the holidays, I just decided that there are other things worth sharing from time to time.
Sappy Blue Beer, everyone!
