Time for the obligitory reflective entry.<\/p>\n
Well, here we are at the dawn of the new year, so, of course, I’m obliged to look back at the past year. Why is that? Damn traditionalists. Like I wrote at the begining of this entry, it’s been a pretty good year. Sure, I have lots of room for improvement, but who doesn’t? So, next year, I get to work on the improvements. <\/p>\n Happy New Year everyone!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Time for the obligitory reflective entry.

\nIt’s been a fairly decent year, actually. I found a new, better webhost. I actually produced content for the website. Hey, I even did real work in the role-playing game industry! (Of course, there are some doubts in my mind about that ever being more than a “protfolio builder”, but still, I did the work.)
\nI gave up some bad habits this year and started to develop some new, better ones. Maybe 2003 will be the year I actually get off my fat butt and write a story again. God knows, I’ve done a bunch of reading that was geared toward research this year. I should start messing around with the Story Starter <\/a>I have on this very website. After all, I put it here to help writers struggling with Writer’s Block, and that would mean I qualify.
\nBut, other Good Things <\/b>seem to get in my way when I try to write. Things like my lovely wife<\/a>, and our daughter<\/a>, and the holidays, and our house which needs some repairs, and our yard which is in sad shape, and my day job as a computer geek. You know, LIFE<\/b>. Ah, but hope springs eternal, so I keep the dream alive.<\/p>\n
