2014 Goals

Posted on January 6, 2014 | 3 comments

Since I managed to miss the time frame to reflect on the past year (ahem, possibly on purpose?) I decided to announce a few goals for 2014. It’s been very inspiring to read others’ goals so … ta-dah, here are mine!

2014 goals

Be more consistent with the tools I’ve found useful to stay organized and active

Continue improving and producing written work

  • Polish and submit novella (possibly cut to novelette length)
  • Participate in Codex Writers Weekend Warrior
  • Participate in Write1Sub1 monthly challenge
  • Participate in Liberty Hall flash challenges as inspired
  • Revise and submit story inventory

Put more effort into blogging

  • Post at least 12 entries here – one sub goal is to review those tools above that I found useful
  • Blog maintenance – check links and update sidebars
  • Post more on my recipe blog

Enjoy my family, my friends, my home and my city.

Hope your year is productive and healthy, and you’ve set some achievable goals (if that’s your thing!)

3D printing? Wow.

3d printed objectI am fascinated by this technology.  I first heard about it years ago at a chess tournament, of all places.  One of the other chess parents was working on an early prototype.  I had trouble understanding how such a thing could be.  Creating a 3D object out of a copy machine?

Now that such things are functioning, I have a better understanding but the same fascination.  I’ve written several (yet to be published) stories featuring 3D printing, and backed a kickstarter (the Buccaneer!) to create household versions of the printers.

Imagine!  You need a new garbage pail – print one out!  Your child draws a cute Cthulhu monster – print one out.

Next step – animating such creations.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……
