The last two months have been really profound for me. Of course, I wish I had been writing about it while it was happening, but I’m not sure I could have. Sometimes you can only really write about things by looking in the rearview mirror…they are phantoms around you until you pass them by.
Let’s talk about writing goals. They are important. If you don’t set some goals for yourself, you will wander aimlessly in the wasteland, perhaps making tiny amounts of progress but never at the level that is satisfying.
In the last two months, I set three writing goals and I’ve accomplished two of them. The third one has been a struggle, but I’m still hammering away at it, hoping to finish it soon so I can move on to the next set of goals. Productivity is high, and the great thing is that when I’m writing a lot, it feeds the positive energy into the rest of my life. I’ve dropped 15 pounds since September. I am the healthiest I’ve been in at least a couple of years…and I have a new love in my life. Well, I say new but it’s really…a very long (awesome) story.
So yeah, as you can tell, I’ve been busy since Austin. I love going to Austin, it always helps me focus my mind on the priorities, get myself centered and charge my energy and enthusiasm to follow this path for my life.
I promise I’ll get around to updating the Watch List and I have lots I want to talk about regarding how the 2008 shows are shaking out (needless to say, I have some very choice words for NBC).
I hope you are all locked and loaded. I know I am. Course is set and I am ready to rock.

Glad to hear things are going so well for you. It’s great when everything starts to fall into place.
Okay. You owe me a phone call, or a coffee, or at least an email. Now.
