Personally, I don't get this obsession people have to summarise their year in January. Seems a little to close to oanistic for me. If the events you are bragging about were sufficiently bragworthy, they would have been mentioned at the time. If your followers are interested, there is a diary on your blog to let them scan back through the high spots.
Face it, the majority of people who see your 'that was last year, post already know what's in it.
Rather than sitting in a dark corner of the pub mumbling into a half-finished pint over past glories, I am more of a standing alertly at the bar with a nice glass of Chateauneuf du Pape, enthusing about how much I have to look forward to this year.
My short story "Change of Address" will be out in the Fox Spirit anthology 'Girl at the End of the World' early in the new year.
"Warrior Stone: Underland", a YA urban fantasy novel, is scheduled for publication in February, again through Fox Spirit.
"Maverick", a SF/Fantasy mash is due for publication through Metaphoric in May.
Plus, Amunet is now edited and ready to find a new home. Anybody who knows an agent looking for a brilliant new talent with a Steampunk/Urban Fantasy YA/NA novel ready to go, drop me a line.
Hmm: busy, busy, busy - but never boring :)
Be successful, be happy, and be splendid
