2013 - Happy New Year

Well, here we are near the start of the new year ... just 5 days in. 2012 was a very hard year for my family. Hopefully 2013 will be a better year.

Meanwhile, I'll be getting the January 2013 issue of Literary Brushstrokes out today. It's a slim issue since I didn't get a whole lot of good submissions. I'm wondering if I need to advertise somewhere. I had hoped that my listing on Duotrope would cover that base, especially since this is not and never will be a money-making endeavor. And, I am distressed to see that Duotrope has become a paid subscription site now. I'm not entirely sure how to get to the page that has the listing for my magazine. Oh well....

My to do list for this weekend is a long one:

• Complete the homework for the online class I'm currently in (Effective Online Teaching)
• Put out the January issue of Literary Brushstrokes
• Complete the syllabi for my classes this Spring 2013 semester
• Get caught up with my duties for Sheree Bykofsky
• Grocery shop
• Clean the house
• Take down the Christmas decorations and put them away

Well, that's too much to do in one weekend, but somehow I have to accomplish all that!
