Looking back over 2011, it seems that my posting has been extremely irregular. (Like everything else in my life. Sigh.) Here's the year in review meme:
Copy the first sentence from your first entry for each month of the year.
January: Happy New Year!: Okay, so I'm not on my way out to a 2 am rock concert in JAPAN like I was at this time last year.
February: And I am a writer, writer of fictions: Finished this round of revisions, at last.
March: Perhaps for my children your surface will smile: For lack of any hilariously entertaining real-life incidents, I thought I might as well post a review that I've been sitting on for a while.
April: It's that time of year again: Yesterday during the rainstorm I was in the library to pick up a book, as I often am, and was browsing the poetry section looking for Pushkin.
May: Read All the Sequels: Between frantically reading stuff, steeling myself to work on That Damn Thing, crash-teaching myself tunes for the Fiddleheads spring ceili at high speeds, flailing at various authors and poets at the cash register, and having more shelving at work than anybody else in the world, I've been kind of busy.
June: And it feels like I'm home again: Happy Summer! It's been Update Fail City around here, mostly because I've been busy recovering from BEA and Reunion.
July: Hello Hello!: It is time to update the Monster Drama List!
August: Just to prove there once was magic: I've kind of been failing to update regularly, even with Ovid fixed and with his webcam mysteriously working again.
September: Ikemen desu ne ep. 8: ME: It's Jang Geun Suk! SQUEE! HI, JGS! ♥♥♥♥♥
October: Well, my first post of October is flocked, but have the next one: I'll try harder to speak: Autumn is here at last! Tis the season for leaves and apple cider and also, apparently, for single young gentlemen to attempt to score dates at bookstores.
November: I know your mind: I keep meaning to post!
December: What can I compare you to when everything looks like you?: Excuse me while I drop everything to read this advance copy of BITTERBLUE (Kristin Cashore, 2012) that I happen to have here.
I've cheated a bit, as you can see, because a lot of my first sentences are things like "Autumn is here!" or "Happy Summer!" or "Quid novi, amicis? Multi mihi!" (Hey, I think I just figured out the double dative! Did I really just figure out the double dative? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.) My first post of the new year will probably say something similar. *sigh*
But for now I'm going to get some more cake (nom nom cake. Turns out it IS much better with frosting! Who knew? Um, EVERYONE. HELLO FIONA THAT IS WHY FROSTING WAS INVENTED) and spend some more quality time with the galley of the novel that I have dubbed THE ILIAD: GAY PREQUEL EDITION. And then beta things. Yes.
Happy New Year!
