tally, tally, tally...but no bananas

Every year I do a tally. I review what I've done, tried to do and have not done in the past calendar year. So here's where I stand as of this frigid, cold-ass, where are my slippers!?!? New Year's Eve Eve.

~I appeared in 26 anthologies this year. Cool.

~Two of my books came out in print. Cool again.
~The Mighty Quinn came out with WCPT. Fabulosity!
~I had several novellas published with eXcessica. Coolio!
~I had my first paranormal Quickie come out with Ellora's Cave. Awesomeness.

~I have a full length novel coming out tomorrow with Ellora's Cave. Awesomeness with awesome sauce.
~I submitted 130 items. (o_O)

~I wrote 63 new short stories. *_*

~I wrote two novellas.

~I wrote one novel (with one in the works now).

~I submitted multiple things as the original me and had several published.

~I had a kids' manuscript accepted as original self. Woohoo!
~I put together a project I'm not ready to announce yet. very excited. eep!
~I self published 10 short works. I had to find my balls for that...
~I started writing for Pretty Things Press (booyah!)

That's all I can think of right now. Overall, not too shabby, my friend. Not too shabby at all.

I'm also uber grateful for all the wonderful friends I have kept and the new ones I've made. Some of my most favorite people live in the magic box, and truly...my days would suck without you. And not in a good way.

XOXO

p.s. Fabulous giraffe is because yesterday I spent some time with a woman who said her living room was done in a mix of Starry Night and giraffes, well, when it came up for tally I so had to use it!
