mmegaeraWell, that's the last end-of-the-year project finished.
I have this horrible habit of throwing paperwork in a great big pile on top of my filing cabinet instead of actually, you know, either throwing it away or filing it. It's gotten much worse since I started paying my bills electronically, too, and this year was particularly odious since I refinanced my condo ($100 less a month, yay!, but ye godlings the paperwork!).
Writing historical fiction generates a lot of research material, too, but most of the non-book variety gets filed into one of those portable plastic file box things, one box per book. And I did pretty much stay on top of that, except for all the Sputs (the quarterly periodical of GOSA, the Geyser Observation and Study Association) scattered all over the coffee table for the last couple of months, which are now back in their box, too.
So I just spent the last two hours finding the top of my filing cabinet, and filling a garbage bag with outdated bills (which get paid on time but not thrown away for some godforsaken reason) and other unnecessary printed material and filing everything that needed to be kept in its proper place.
Whew! And I found a printout of my 2012 Goals [g]. Looks like I didn't do too badly. Could do better museum-wise, and I was overly optimistic about how long True Gold would take, which delayed the start of Finding Home, but other than that, not bad.
So I guess that wasn't my last end-of-the-year project. So, what do I want to accomplish in 2013?
Oh, and Happy New Year!
