Good Things I Did in 2013:

* Spent lots of quality time with good friends
* Lots of writing
* Lots of reading
* Sold a short story, saw another one in print after selling it in late 2012
* Saw Bonnie Langford perform again
* Visited Rome for the first time
* Went to Vidukon, one of my favourite cons ever
* Attended not one but two folk festivals
* Went to Nine Worlds, one of my other favourite cons ever
* GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Seriously you guys it was wicked awesome)
* Pitched to two different literary agents
* Visited the delightful city of Bristol for the first time
* Saw Vienna Teng live
* Went to Bletchley Park
* Sang in my third big concert with my choir

Good Things I Plan/Hope to Do in 2014:

* Spend lots of quality time with good friends, both the ones happily nearby and the ones harder to reach
* Lots of writing
* Lots of reading
* Get a novel published - I've hoped for this at the beginning of every year since I can remember, and I haven't achieved it yet but every year it doesn't happen teaches me more about how I might eventually get there
* Get a new job - my job was ideal until it wasn't. Regardless of how convenient it is in some ways, I need something more interesting and challenging
* Visit Iceland and Japan - the first is coming up in a couple of weeks, the second's in April! We are very spoiled this year
* Attend Vidukon and Nine Worlds, and probably at least one folk festival
* See more live music - Taylor Swift and Dar Williams are already locked in, I'm looking out for more, and I'm also hoping to catch up on some musical theatre soon
* Generally have epic adventures

Congratulations on being such a wonderful and accomplished human.

I have a thing for you to add to your 2014 list, and that is LOTS OF (GAAAAY, FEMINIST, FANGIRLY) ROWDINESS WITH ME THIS SUMMER. It is a major item on my agenda, anyhow. (Which could of course be filed under the first point but specificity is important.)

There are no dates yet but you will know the minute I do! (I am due at a conference in Dublin at the end of June, so definitely at least around then. Hopefully for a couple months. Fingers crossed.)

Nice list of good things.

I am envious of your trip to Iceland. I will get there one of these days!

I did none of these, but I smiled when you told me about some of them :-)

I hope she might make it out to Aus one day - sis would love to see her, and I think I would too.
