I'm currently writing this on New Year's Eve of 2022. It's raining outside, and I wearing a Super Meat Boy shirt that I got for Christmas.
I'll be honest, I'm tired. I'm working a lot, both for money and on my arts. And sometimes I can be a little burnt out working on parts of projects that I'm not entirely in love with. Recently I've felt a little restless spending a lot of time audio editing. However that's the reality of working in the creative world, it's not all pursuing your dreams, it's a lot of hard work. And the work is not always fun.
But it's been a long year, and I wanted to take a short time, to reflect on all the accomplishments for the past year, and what my goals are for next year. Because I think that's what's going to help me for the next year for when the work get's a little less fun.
Accomplishments
January: Was a Finalist for the Now Voice This Voiceover Competition.
February: Bought a House Baby!
March: Started a Film Business!
April: Won the Seneca Women Podcast Competition!
May: Raised about $2,000 for Filming

Attended the 2022 Poster Invasion Poster Tour and made a nice paycheck from it
Made a website for my company

Adopted a beautiful little kitten (Her name is Pumpernickel)
Produced book trailers for a few authors
And ya know, working regular jobs
And looking back, that's a great year, a lot of goals were made and met, maybe not everything that I hoped, but some new stuff that I didn't plan on was completed too!
So looking for this next year, I wanted to share my plan layout
January: Finish the work for my Podcast and Audiobook (Audition when I can)
February: Update my website, and resumes, I'm ready for a job in the creative world and potentially an agent
March: Start writing pitches for a handful of creative projects (I won't write a full script, just get the basics down for a few ideas)
April: Start writing a script to film later in the year.
May - July: Start Pre-Production, Crowdfunding etc. for my film
August - September: Poster Tour!
October - December: Film (I don't know what I'm filming yet, but I for sure want to make another project)
I don't know how truthfully I'll follow this plan, because who know what'll happen right? But I figure if you start with a plan, that's the best way to have something to work towards.
Alright, let's do this! Better myself, Better my career, and overall just enjoy life!
