It’s the last month of the year. 31 days to go, and a couple less than that till Christmas…. and about a day or two before that is when I’ll start my Christmas shopping.

2009 is going to be a much more productive year than this year and so it’s about time I got into the swing of things.

So, here’s my ToDo list for December -

1. Read more – I haven’t been reading a great deal lately and I think this is one of the reasons my writing is suffering. I seem to write more (and better.) When I’m reading more. I’m just finishing off Neverwhere and am heading on to Dune.
2. I plan on trying to do this… Two months – A complete first draft. It seems possible but I’m not even sure what project to focus on. (Which is a bit of a problem since I should be doing at least 1500 words today.)
3. I want to get a Doug update out too. It’s been somewhere around two months since the last one, this was supposed to be a weekly thing! shit!
4. I have a great concept (and title) for a short story, I want to get that one out before the end of the year too. It’s got a little bit of time travel and a little bit of existentialism. Fun for the whole family.
5. Violate the first law of awesomedynamics
6. I should probably throw in Christmas shopping as well…. – Although I usually leave it till last minute and then run around the shopping centre dodging all the bastards that can’t walk fast enough and grumbling to myself, as I do when I’m pissed off, all the while finding awesome presents for everyone.

So, that’s the plan for December. I better get to work I have a lot to get through…

Hmmm, my workspace looks a little dirty. Maybe some cleaning first. Oh and there’s a movie on in a few minutes that I want to see…
