2020 Resolutions - in no particular order.
1. Learn to draw. The above sketches were done between the ages of 13 to 17. The painting was done in school for an art class when I was 14. As you can see I was never any good, and I could not draw a human face even if my life depended on it. I’d love to be able to illustrate my own fic. (Then perhaps it’s a good thing that I can’t draw).
2. Keep writing. I want to finish Dark Times before I die! :D In my head it’s finished. I know how it ends! But...
3. Keep losing weight. I was diagnosed with Diabetes in June 2019. I immediately changed my life style. I have lost 53lb and have more to go - I cannot believe that I was so large - and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
4. Support my TransChild. This one has been angst ridden. I adore my children and I love them unconditionally, and I will be supporting my youngest through the whole process and will honour their choices and decisions. I will never walk away from them. Never. Emotionally I am a bit of a mess, mainly due to fears for their mental health, societal attitudes to transpeople and what that means for my child and their future.
5. Save some money. I need to save up so I can get much needed work done on my house.
6. Stop worrying so much about what other people think. Self explanatory really.
