Happy New Year and Some R&R

Taking some UnPTO

Greetings Dear Readers,

I am writing this to let you know that I am taking a few days off. Some much-needed days off. My editor from my other gig dropped this entire week of work from the calendar due to holiday staffing issues, so I am now looking at five full days off. Wow!

But don’t get too excited. Unlike many of your corporate types, I don’t get paid time off (PTO); I get unpaid time off (UnPTO). No worky, no money. That is okay. It is the nature of the beast. (Link at the bottom.)

I am writing this on Wednesday, and I do not plan on working again until Tuesday. I have some things in the pipeline to drop when I’m gone (and you probably already read a couple of them.) In the meantime, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Perhaps you will take my advice to heart and try and make this year more about others than yourself.

For those who are curious, my resolutions are as follows.

1. Stop smoking for good this time.
2. Give more to charity.
3. Continue to disciple others and foster deeper faith in a fellow Christian.
4. Potty train my damn toddler.
5. Actually write some fiction. (Maybe)
