New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year! I have a whole long list of profound resolutions as do you, I'm sure. I have mental list, really, but all I can seem to think about is tamales. I seem to have an odd craving for them lately. Have you ever had one?

Anyway, guess what! The Dawnwolf is now not only available on Amazon and CreateSpace, but on Kindle, and to libraries and bookstores. I'm assuming it will have to be requested in order to appear there, but I'm going to go bother my local library later on to consider my book. If you want to see it on your library, too, well, go ahead! Request it! Let's see if this works. I appreciate it.
Also, you might notice a new link on the side bar there. Yup, Wolfie has a Twitter, now. She does indeed! Go and follow me, all ye tweetlings! https://twitter.com/WritingProgress

Back to resolutions, I think my two biggest are getting The Dawnwolf promoted and noticed and getting FireHeart edited and published. Then, it's on to the next project, and the same thing next year!
But do you want to know what I'm going to do this year? Like, in 14 days?
I'm entering the Amazon Breakthrough Awards! Yes...I'm just crazy enough to think my novel could have a chance, and, considering all the lovely feedback I'm getting from it, I could be right. I'm hopeful to even win grand prize, because $50k and a publishing offer sounds pret-ty darn good to me. I will squander it on fabulous pleasantries, like jewelry, dresses, and shoes! Nah, I'm playin'...I'd put it to good use, like furthering my writing career.

I'm also really hungry right now.

Starting today, unless I'm stricken with tragic symptoms of laziness, I'm going to continue writing in FireHeart, just like it was still NaNoWriMo. Meaning, I'll be writing about 1k words a day, maybe. I'm not in as much of a hurry as I was last year since I can use my CreateSpace winner's code for another novel if I don't meet the deadline.
At any rate, if I don't write today, I'll edit. There are a lot of things popping out to me that I'm itching to correct. This should reduce the cheese-o-matic gauge--which is to say, the level of the novel's cheesiness. It's not that cheesy, but it has its moments...

Yeah, well, that's what's up! I also uploaded a profile on Amazon's Author Central. It'll probably appear within my novel's Amazon page. By the way, if you think someone will be interested in he Dawnwolf, please spread the word! Thanks a ton, I owe you one!

I would give you a word today, but the only words that come to mind are "stomach" and "tamales".
A stomach is an internal organ in which the food you ingest goes to be digested. It has a tendency to growl when you need to eat. Tamales are a Mexican food with seasoned meat wrapped in cornmeal dough, steamed or baked in corn husks.
