I notice that a lot of people are writing posts on what they accomplished, what they wrote and what they sold, or just what happened to them in this last year.
How do they do it? I have no idea what happened to me in this last year, let alone what I wrote and what I sold. I mean, I remember that I went to Europe which was awesome, especially Venice, and that I wrote three short stories in one month which is definitely a record for me, and that, at back-to-back conventions, I got poked in the belly by Harlan Ellison the same day that he grabbed Connie Willis' breast onstage during the Hugos, and mortally offended Saiyuki voice actor Greg Ayres, but this detailed accounting astounds me. I would have to go through all my LJ entries for a whole year, which I am way too lazy to do.
So you tell me: what of note did I do or write or sell or say last year? Like George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life, did I do anything that made a difference to you?
