I think I will use this opportunity to tell you all how silly it is that the "New year" starts in the middle of winter. I mean, aside from new calendars, does it really feel like anything is newer or fresher than it did before Christmas? Unlikely. So here is your New Year's Day related information from Wikipedia. While many pagans celebrate Samhain (SOW-en) as the new year, I go with the faction that celebrates in springtime when everything is New and growing after a long wintery sleep. I could do with a long, wintery sleep myself, come to think of it.
My holiday party was fabbo and I even got a credit card as a gift. Just what I need *laugh and wink*! It's one of those prepaid dealies since everyone knows I have no will power. Lots of swell people came to my party, too many to list them all in fact. Of particular interest were the new gal pal of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pak_man78, and the cute little number brought by lickingtoad. George and Sonya attended which is cool because I never see them anymore...but even more amazing is the fact that they brought Jose AKA doswebos2. My buddies Tony and Steve showed up whom I also haven't seen in forever. Plus Schmave was still in town, K and N, klynnfrost attended even though her beau had to work. Kwame showed up, madush69 came by late, and mguto75 brought some yummy brownies. Sadly, uterdic couldn't not stick around to celebrate our last NYE as roomates as he and smarbaby had to go to another gathering in another city. Happily, they took the dog.
I'm finishing up my NaNoWriYear sign up today so I can get writing by tomorrow night. I'm going ahead with my plan to add 80-100 pages to my novella, taking it up to something nearing "full length". Then I can make up a prospectus and start shopping around for an publisher. Once I get an offer (if indeed, I do) then I can take that offer and use to to secure an agent. They will get 10%. I've always wanted to have an agent who gets 10%.
