cosmic_llinThree days into a new year already - gosh!
Christmas, as expected, was a bit upsetting and miserable, but had some lovely bits! Quite a few people got me presents to share with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
carawj (thank you, those people, for cushions, teapots, spice racks etc! :D) and my brother got me a Davros cookie jar, so, awesomes. And then when I got back to London we had a little Christmas of our own and I had a stocking with jelly beans and bubbles and poetry and biscuits and it was very lovely. :)
As to my feelings on Doctor Who... mostly disappointment and betrayal. I might post properly another time.
So anyway... 2010, eh?
Where I am now is nowhere near where I imagined myself this time last year. And 2009 in a lot of ways was a difficult year, but it was also a year filled with loveliness and awesome, and one in which I think I've grown a lot and learned a lot of things about myself, so I'm counting it as a win overall. I have a lovely home and girlfriend and a wonderful circle of friends both near and far who mean the world to me, and if I don't have a job I love, I at least have one that pays the bills and lets me wear what I like and listen to my iPod in the office, which could be a whole heap worse.
I'm not sure I want to make a list of resolutions, but as a general thing I want to spend more of this year doing things that are important to me, and I want to make more progress towards my goal of making a living from writing. Although technically I do that already, it really doesn't count.
Today I'm sitting in our nice tidy flat, we've shopped and eaten proper food, I've been doing creative things all day and even if I haven't made the best possible use of the Christmas break, I have really enjoyed it. So I think this is a good way to start the year. *nod*

And you get to work with words of a sort. At least you didn't have to go through as long a writing apprenticeship as I have - forty years of one, disguised as a successful career :P :P :P
