New Year, New Blog!

I was sitting at work when the clock struck midnight on New Year and I was listening to a co-worker drone on about how this year was going to be different. He spoke about how he wanted to do this and needed to be that. When the conversation turned to me, I realized I had no idea what I wanted out of this New Year. I knew one thing for sure, though. I don't like where my life is at this very moment. I am turning 30 years old this year. When I was 16, I thought I would be a mega-popular author by now. Yet I haven't even tried to get anything published yet. I always felt like I had the time or that story wasn't good enough, so I didn't even try. That needs to change this year. Though, I will probably never be the mega-popular author I thought I was going to be.

So what did I do? What any sane person would do. I made my own planner for my writing and my reading and jotted out a plan. I have 4 quarters until 2021. I don't want to look back at 2020 and see that I wasted another year. So, let's get started on what type of person I am.

I flutter between an INTJ and an INFJ. I am actually 50/50 on the line of thinking and feeling. But one thing is very clear in both of those. I don't like people. Being around people exhaust me. Which, as a writer, can be hindering. It isn't that I want to be this way, but put me in a crowded area and I am like a lion backed into a corner. I will snap and claw to get away, doing whatever is needed. 

I am not looking to self publish. I want to be traditionally published first and then maybe go hybrid, but that is some time in the future. For now, I was to get a book written and polished to start trying to get an agent with. Then we will go from there. That is my main goal for Q1.

Sorry, if that was kind of boring. Promises that my other posts won't be! This blog is going to be my journey through the year of writing and the things I discover along the way.
