Here are some of my projects: 1. Master's theses. Although one of them was technically started a couple years ago, I finished it. The other one, I started and finished this year. And then I graduated. Major relief. 2. Pictures! I'm no photographer, but back in August I started taking at least one picture a day as a way to journal something I did each day. Not each picture is very well thought out, but I'm happy that I've stuck with it. .-= • Recent post by Tina: <a href="http://vomitpopsicle.com/?p=1439" rel="nofollow">I fell down the stairs yesterday</a> =-.

I started the blog and pushing my screenwriting efforts (20 pages away from a finished full length, and 5 episodes of an animated show). I can finish the feature by Christmas, at least 3 episodes by the end of January. Next year should be even better, as I really push to make a more concentrated effort on the marketing screenplay front!

The process, moving everything from Austin to Houston and then cramming my life into two suitcases for New York, was hasty. The months of summer filled with my friends and dancing, were sadly ended. Mostly the comfort of everything that I have known for the past six years in Austin were let go. I don’t know why, but I am very proud of myself for this move. It is a big change, but a good one as I keep at it. [...] [...] Kristan wrote about “projects” or really efforts she was proud of, and in my response, I realized as I wrote it, I am proud of my move.

Especially working in "waffling"...good job. : ) Oh, and getting paid for writing...that would be at the top of my list (if I actually got paid. [sigh] Someday). The thing I'm most proud of for 2009 is starting and finishing a novel (even though it's missing a few key elements) : ) Also, starting a blog and meeting all kinds of wonderful new people and writer friends!
