jon_chaissonThis past year has been pretty interesting for me...on the one hand, I dropped the self-imposed weekly schedule and some of the side projects, and stopped updating (or closed down) a handful of my blogs. On the other hand, however, I focused solely on this current revision of A Division of Souls, which I'm finding is infinitely better than the last few revisions I'd made, and I've also made some interesting strides on my posts over at Walk in Silence, specificaly with the Blogging the Beatles series I started. I think this move was the right one, as I'm feeling a lot more confident in my output. That was the main aim this year--to focus more on the quality than the quantity, and I think the end result is quite positive.
That said, I would like to return to the weekly schedule again. It probably won't be nearly as packed as it was in the last few years, however. I'm going to remain focused on the Eden Cycle revisions, but I would also like to reintroduce more time to working on Walk in Silence, assigning myself a daily or weekly poem or passage to write (the main focus there being to work on something completely new, however small). I'm going to sit on Love Like Blood a little while longer. If I have time and the inclination, one of my other backburner projects might pop up later in the year...we'll see.
I also enjoyed the weekend/midweek posts of poetry and pictures, and I'd like to revive that again. Those were fun mini-projects to work on, and I think are worth revisiting. They only took maybe an hour or so out of my day, so it wasn't as if they were intrusive. If anything, that's the same amount of time I'd probably be wasting online or goofing off. This will help eliminate that to some degree. I don't mind the goofing off, it's quite a normal thing to do--but I feel I do too much of it.
So for now, I'm going to finish out 2012 with what I've been doing for the last few months...I'm continuing with the ADoS revision and doing the occasional blog post, and that's it. I'll toy around with schedule ideas this coming month, and post it come the first of January.
Hope everyone's had a great 2012! :)
