I made a list of things I need to do to get my life back on track. Or at least, things that will make me feel like I'm taking some sort of action.

First on the list: Finish my novel and try to get it published. I worked on this last night. I only have to review about 40 more pages, then all I'll have left to do is type up the revisions and print it off, and it will be ready to submit. Finally. I think the revision process took almost as long as the actual writing process. By this Monday I should finally be able to stop telling people "I'm working on a novel" and start telling them "I'm trying to get my novel published."

Second: Finish the FY Originals site. This is my first commercial site, as in, it's the first site somebody paid me to build. It's almost there, I just need to set up a shopping cart and expand on some of the info, and I noticed a few minor technicalities that need to be debugged.

Third: Update my portfolio and resume.

Fourth: Finish the rest of this web site.

Fifth: Either submit a short story I wrote last year to some magazines and try to get it published, or convert it to a play. I think it would make a good play. So does everyone else who's read it.

Sixth: Get off of my ass, overcome my cowardice, and go out there and get some clients! Submit some resumes! Find myself a better job! Amen, hallelujah!

I think this is all doable. Even if it's not, just writing it all down made me feel MUCH better about things.
