I meant to do some New Year's Resolutions for 2005, but I haven't yet. (Resolution #1: Make Some Resolutions.)
Ever since I mailed Prophecy out, I've felt strangely at loose ends. There's no more deadlines, no more overarching goal to achieve, nothing left hanging over my head. Oh, yes, I still have to work on Game of October, and it wouldn't hurt to invest more time in that. But it's not the same.
Part of me is yelling at me, "Wake up! Do something! Don't jus sit there playing Puzzle Pirates all night! You're wasting your life!"
And another part is replying, "So what? It's my life. And it's not like my continued existence depends on these extracurricular activities I've been devoting my time to. It won't make any difference to my material well-being if I never write another piece of fiction, or draw another picture. None at all."
( So what? )
