2019 was full of ups and downs, not going into details, but the notables are below.
The Good
Self-published one crime novel (Locked Down)
Had a stand-alone crime novel accepted for publication
Aethon Publishing accepted my Steampunk series for proper publication
Third Time Lucky Production produced my first ever audioplay
Lead my first writers’ panel at Crimefest
Some great times out in the campervan
Saw my wonderful daughter graduate
Lots of good audio books listened to
Finally got hold of two books I’ve wanted for years
The Bad
A terrible drop in mental health (but recovering)
A continuous grumbling feeling of not being physically well
Obvious degeneration of eyesight
The Ugly
Gained a stone
Unable to convince myself to exercise
Reasons to be Cheerful
I have a great family
I have wonderful friends
and to this last I say thank you for getting me through the
bad times and standing by me when I needed you.
Remember, that’s reciprocal.
New Year Resolutions
To be better:
To be better at communicating
To be better at taking care of myself
To be better at taking care of others
