My city and business were destroyed, my drawing hand broken and a good night's sleep a rare and elusive thing. <br /><br />And somewhere in between opening a new shop, tattooing with a busted mitt and comfort-eating my way into an extra 15kg (33lbs for the Yanks), I managed to write one novel and almost finish a MAJOR rewrite on another. <br /><br />I'm ticking last year up in the 'win' column...Steve Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561234111786788616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-62473288256858125312012-01-03T15:34:54.292-06:002012-01-03T15:34:54.292-06:00Congratulations on your accomplishments!

I always feel like I'm pushing through mud as a writer, as if I never get anything accomplished. But looking back, I wrote at least several hundred thousand words of new fiction last year, and I'm hoping to top that this year.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192814826756623212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-45630208578714230662012-01-02T09:49:15.581-06:002012-01-02T09:49:15.581-06:00Prashant, I've not been too disciplined the la...Prashant, I've not been too disciplined the last week or so.

We know it will be a fast one, gathering up steam here in the January station and rocketing away from us all too soon. :)<br /><br />My buddy that had shoulder surgery over a month ago came out on the basketball court yesterday and even played a little. He said the doctor told him anything he did that hurt at first but seemed to loosen the tendons was good. Anything that hurt, didn't loosen the shoulder, and caused worse pain after - bad. He said it's slow going so Lana's recovery is probably proceeding on track. He said he's still having setbacks.BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-46647492246488770512012-01-02T02:47:19.075-06:002012-01-02T02:47:19.075-06:00Congrats on all you accomplished Charles and here&...Congrats on all you accomplished Charles and here's to the New Year and all you'll get done therein.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-22730462635052209952012-01-01T23:13:53.498-06:002012-01-01T23:13:53.498-06:00Happy New Year, Charles!
