Thinking about...

Thinking about how amazing it will be to finish this novel, including edits, and start submitting it to agents.

Thinking about how badly I want to publish the short story collection, how cool it will be to make a little money selling words, and how best to handle the business-y side of it.

Thinking about new years resolutions.

Thinking about King Jimmer and his skilz.

Thinking that The Adventures of TinTin wasn't all its cracked up to be. Graffics=way cool, character development=meh, pacing=huh?

Thinking about friends I love with all my heart and that's all I can do for them.

Thinking that this teaching thing is awesome and I love it, but I need more hours to make it sustainable, or that I need to think of something else to live off of in the meantime that will still let me write and nurse this teaching seed into fruition. Over-thinking has turned to worrying by this point, actually, but we're living and breathing and eating and sleeping and writing over here, so we're good.

Thinking that sitting on the futon with my mom flipping between Seinfeld and Chopped is a great way to spend an evening.

Wondering if my spreadsheet of book review blogs is enough and what else I could do.

Thinking that House most definitely needs a new romantic interest now that Cuddy's gone.

Thinking that Dr. Pepper is way way better than Coke or Pepsi.

Thinking that Pottermore has lost its thunder for me, and thinking that J.K. Rowling should really come out with something new. I'd read it and love it, I'm sure.

Thinking that Christmas was incredible, that I'm going to be old on Saturday, and that I'm so freaking out of my mind excited to get my pre-ordered copy of The Fault In Our Stars in a couple weeks. John Green rocks my socks.

What are you thinking about?

LOVED your comment on my blog about being the same age as Harry Potter. What a trip to have a parallel journey with him. I'm thinking about sitting in front of a fire in the mountains with my laptop and writing my brains out. Happy New Year, Sarah.

Hey Sarah, great post. Right now, I'm thinking how I'd really love to continue working on my WIP, even though my current titles haven't started experiencing any kind of real sales. Well, guess I'm in it for the long haul.

Cute contemplative post. :) Rah for Dr. Pepper being way better than Coke or Pepsi! I agree. Root beer is too. Best of luck in 2012 for making money selling words!! Good goal.

Wow! That's a lot of thinking. :)

I'm thinking about what I want to accomplish for the new year and all I need to do.

I'm also thinking that J.K. Rowling needs to come out with something new too. :D
