Fine by me, and good luck to you! The closure surprised me as well and I'm just today compiling my final 2013 accomplishments I'll summarize quickly:
The big accomplishment is that I published 3 books in three genres:
A book of poetry,
A book of memoirs of growing up, and
A book of science essays.
all in all I wrote 62 essays, 44 poems and half a dozen short stories
estimating and averaging over the year this looks to be about 300 words/day.
I did not complete the novel I had on my goals and may or may not do it in 2014....I'm not yet convinced I can write novels though I've written about 3 really bad ones some time ago. I have a couple of ideas that I think would make great mainstream novels, but we'll see when I do my formal goals, which I'll post here.
I am in the process of hopefully finishing before the end of the month my only pencil drawing of the year.
In non-writing areas I was able to stay out of debt and keep at it without having to go groveling back to the Corporate world and if I can make it through 2014 and if my early SS retirement is enough I may be able to continue chasing the dream (and hopefully begin to make some money at writing)
I'll post my 'official' 2014 goals by this time next week.
