Can you believe 2012 is already upon us? It seems insane. Soundslike a real Jetsons year, like we should have flying cars and the like. TheMayans say the world is going to end about this time next year. I don’t know ifthat is true, but if it is, I’m resolved to making this last year count.
This is officially my final post for 2011. It has been agreat year that has seen the release of a new novel, a new inspirationalpamphlet, a new serial story, and the writing of many new manuscripts. For myblog, it went from having about 50 followers to over 320. Thanks to everyone who joined up!

Wow, that's a lot of words.Are you not going to LTUE in February?
Yep, much more than I've ever done. I'd like to try to aim high and get things done that I never have before. We'll see at this time next year.
Geez Louise that's a mighty impressive goal. I think you should document your progress to inspire the rest of us laggers.
I had really like it very much for using the nice technology in this blog. This website design is very great for the way of presentation is very greatwww.allwebtips.com
Wow. Huge word count goal. I love it. I like to aim high, myself. That way you really push your boundaries.
I'm off to a good start. My first day of the year I knocked out 4000 words. I hope to keep it up.
Holy cow, that IS shooting for the stars! And I like the idea of 2012 as The Jetsons Year. 🙂 Better than the Mayans. 🙂
