It’s that time of year again. \u00a0Time to ponder, pontificate and expound on the year that has past and what the year ahead will offer. \u00a0So in this post I will do a hodge podge of things, Adamsville and otherwise unrelated subject matters.<\/p>\n

In Adamsville related subject matters, the obvious is the most important. \u00a0In 2012, I finally finished this book. \u00a0All in all it took roughly 16 months of work and the final product is something I am really thrilled with. \u00a0I’ve written enough about the production of the book and all the goings on in between, but thank you all for your encouragement along the way.<\/p>\n

Most of my goals and hopes for 2013 with the book are things that are somewhat out of my hand: book deals and the like. \u00a0But the things I can control I am working on. I am still writing the synopsis and treatment for book 2. \u00a0A big part of the pitch for this book is to bill it as a trilogy to publishers so a lot of details need to be ironed out and sorted to make sure the next two books work.<\/p>\n

One of my major personal goals for the past year was that I would only devote myself to one project at a time. \u00a0Thankfully I pretty much did that. \u00a0And to my “astonishment” lol it’s a much more efficient means of getting things done. Especially when your day is split between so many competing priorities. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>I already have a list of projects that are my immediate priority in 2013, alongside of getting all of the writing done for Adamsville book 2.<\/p>\n

So onward to Adamsville in 2013… Hopefully a lot of fun and exciting news will be around the corner in the very short term future.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the year in review… 2012 was a trying year in many other respects. \u00a0I lost a family member and have had a number of things cause some road blocks in directions my family and I would like to go. \u00a0Years are never what you would like them to ultimately be, but that is the thing of it. \u00a0As a whole we will look back on this year with mostly fond memories and understand the difficult ones as what life so often is… challenging.<\/p>\n

I did want to do a short list of my favorite things from this year. \u00a0So here’s to it!<\/p>\n

Favorite movies:
\n1.) Prometheus
\n2.) The Dark Knight Rises
\n3.) Life of Pi
\n4.) The Hobbit
\n5.) The Avengers<\/p>\n

Favorite books I read:
\n1.) Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
\n2.) The Unsinkable Walker Bean by Aaron Renier
\n3.) Mal and Chad: Bellyflop by Stephen McCranie
\n4.) Amulet book 5: Prince of the Elves by Kazu Kibuishi
\n5.) Liberty Defined by Ron Paul<\/p>\n

I look forward to the new year and all that it so far is showing to bring mine and my family’s way. \u00a0And I can’t wait to hopefully show you all Adamsville in 2013. \u00a0I leave you all now with the portrait I recently completed of my favorite caped crusader. \u00a0Happy New Year everyone!<\/p>\n
