New Year, But Same Old Resolutions

Welcome to 2013! We have survived the zombie and alien apocalypse for yet another year and the Mayans calendar ending really turned out to be nothing other than them running out of paper. The year of the dragon is almost over. Everyone is thinking up their New Year Resolutions except me. I’m pretty much sticking the goals I had last year. Finish a book or two, publish them, exercise more, eat less, and get back on track with the Weapons Weekly (which I’m renaming Weapons and Warriors). Since nobody ever succeeds with resolutions, including me, I’m just going to call them goals and keep trucking along.

The Year of the Water Dragon!

2012 is marked the year of the Water Dragon according to the Chinese Zodiac calendar. Are you ready for it? I know I am. This is the year for the free spirits to prosper and shine. The dragon is wise and a sign of good luck so 2012 should be a great year to take a chance and do something to improve your life. Whatever that may be, whether it’s starting a new business or career, or taking that vacation you’ve always wanted, this will be the year to do it. The New Year begins on January 23^rd and ends on February 9^th in 2013. That is how awesome the Year of the Dragon it, it’s almost 13 months!

Funny thing for me is, before I even realized this was the Year of the Dragon I had already set into motion the process to start a new publishing company to assist technologically challenged Indie writers get published and publish myself through the same company. I also have a vacation planned this summer in which I will leave the USA for the first time in my life.
