I plan to tackle the following things:

Send review copies in to be considered for the S'Indie Award
Get Rabbit's Lucky Number reviewed by more Rape Crisis Programs
Land another interview somewhere...that will see the light of day
Complete podcast
Complete youtube video and facebook business page
Complete at least ten blogs (3 down, 7 to go with this posting)
Complete first chapter of new book
Complete first scene of Rabbit's screenplay
Unveil new cover

Writing down the tasks ahead of me allows me to put it out in the Universe, stay focused and feel accountable.

Small steps toward being spectacular in '09!

I really enjoyed my old blogspot days when I let it all hang out, and now there's an option to import some of my old stuff, which was actually fun to read and reflect on.

Quite frankly, sticking to just publishing bores me (and probably you) to tears. While it is my intention to use this blog to share information, my other intention is to write, and to get better at writing. And if I lose the mojo to write because I am not really too pressed to write about publishing, then guess who's not writing about anything whatsoever? Me. The supposed writer.

So stay tuned for more randomness that is Lee, publishing links and information, and my intentions going forward. And oh yeah, she's baaaaaaack!

We elected the first Black President of the United States. We watched the financial market sink faster than the Titanic - post iceberg hit.

Extreme? Yes. But balanced.

In 2008, I have met many great people and have also been reacquainted with so many others from the past, both by circumstance and obviously fa.ceb.ook - stay tuned for that post...lol. I've also cut some folks loose. (Or maybe they cut me loose...lol. I dunno.) But it's for the best.

I've made many great strides, both personally and professionally, but I've also made so many mistakes this year. I've been humbled by some of them, yet I have become more confident in my abilities and aware of my shortcomings. Now, some of those mistakes, I've h
