New Chapter on the Harry Potter Fanfiction
The weather has been gorgeous lately. We've had sun and temperatures in the seventies with light to moderate breezes. Naturally, I've been spending my time outside with the kids, and not writing on anything.
I did, however, sign up for a course on writing children's books. We'll see how that goes. More on that later.
I also updated my Harry Potter fanfiction, "Song of the Hat". You can find it here:

Going to bed now. I'll say more another day.

The Song of the Hat - Fanfiction
I'd like to start my 'renewal of purpose' with the one thing that I have been working on throughout these empty months.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8662596/1/The-Song-of-the-Hat
This is a Harry Potter fanfiction, set about 15 years after the ending of the series. I am writing from the perspective of Millicent Bulstrode's (self-created) younger daughter, focusing on what it's like to be from a Slytherin-strong family in the aftermath of one of the worst wizarding conflicts in recent history.
I'm nine chapters in, and I have a younger sister who is always begging me for more, so this is an active story. Feel free to have a look.

New Year’s Resolution: 1920x1080
Each year I re-resolve several things, but this year I’m going to repeat my little ritual and re-resolve them once again.
Why do I do this to myself?
Well, though I fail to hit my target each year, I do come closer to reaching it. My house is cleaner today than it was last year on this date. My weight is closer to normal. I have made the greatest leaps and strides in my writing. So here I go again, with the same New Year’s Resolutions as ever before, and one of them, of course, concerns this blog and me posting in it more often.
Resolution 1: Writing more
I made leaps and strides here, when I decided to join in the NaNoWriMo challenge (lovingly nicknamed “Cain’t Write No Mo’” about halfway through) and finish the first draft of a book I had outlined some time ago. I discovered that I was capable of putting 2,000 words on a story each day, no matter how I was feeling or how inspired I was. My challenge was to see if I was a writer, not only in good times, but also in bad. I succeeded.
I put aside the draft for the entire month of December, but in January I want to turn out my first-edited form for family and friends to read, with an eventual goal of publication. For 2011, I also want to turn this blog into something people will actually come back to read and, you know, find new stuff *to* read. I’d like to post in it at least weekly, at most daily.
Resolution 2: Clean my house
My house-decorating philosophy is actually quite simple. I am a fan of all that is useful and beautiful. If it is beautiful but not useful, or if it is useful and not beautiful, I am more likely to want it gone. Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, I am also OCD and a bit of a packrat. I have so many things I want gone that I have never been able to rid myself of.
I have a genuinely nice house that would have all the room I needed if we would only get rid of the things we don’t use/like/need.
Resolution 3: Stick to my proper weight
I’m really not that bad off. I picked up an extra 10-15lbs during my second pregnancy, and they just haven’t come off yet. Actually, I began this year 15lbs up and ended it 10lbs up, so I am honestly getting myself back into shape. This goal I’m not too worried about, not just because I think I can do it, but also because it isn’t really all that important to me.
Will this be “my year”?
To be honest, I will be happy even if I make a small gain in each goal. Best case scenario will find me, on December 31st, 2011, reporting that my house is clutter-free and my first novel has been published, and that my BMI has gone from 25 to 22.5.
