I hope everyone had a great Christmas and start for 2009. I am looking forward to bigger and better things this year, on all levels. It will take some work to get there, but this year hold a lot of endless possibilities. I'm going to be working my tail off to make a lot of good things happen. I've already started, and wish I could go into the details with you, but some things are better left unsaid. Writing is a verytough business. You have to learn from your mistakes to be able to take your game to the next level. I have worked hard at everything in my life. Not all things have worked out, despite my hard work, but for the most part, I have found success in whatever I've done. There were times I wondered if I was cut out for writing, but lately that has been a definitive Yes. I have made huge strides in the last year, took some lumps while doing it, but have resurfaced with a new perspective. If you're not growing and learning, no matter how much you've been doing your job, then you'll get stale and be phased out. And whatever is not working, get rid of it.
