2011 was an intensely action-packed year for me. My life isn't often action-packed, so I thought I'd make a list of things I did/what happened. It's more for me to remember than for any of you to read, but here you go anyway.

Last year I . . .

-began writing for an established blog (The Hooded Utilitarian)
-first read The Hunger Games (not that impressed)
-lived with my best friends as they got divorced
-learned what epidemiology is
-had conversations with my niece for the first time
-was contacted by both an agent and an editor
-first watched Supernatural
-produced and directed a play
-met the Deputy Administrator of NOAA
-went to Victoria, BC
-signed a contract with an agent and a publisher
-first (really) listened to MUSE
-hosted a panel at a con (Geek Girl Con in Seattle)
-wrote a book
-went to the PRIDE parade
-moved house
-wrote at least 12 fanfics
-shared curriculum about health I created with visitors from the CDC
-was emailed by the actor who played Omar Little on The Wire
-ceased having a working car
-had someone develop a crush on me, which has never ever happened before
-beta'ed some awesome fanfic
-first started watching M*A*S*H
-got an ipad
-realized that the last four years have changed me more than any other time of my life that I can recall

Wow. I'll just be over here fangirling you.

What's up with the book? And the other book? And omg what did Omar Little say? Thank you for betaing my fanfic in amidst all the hullabaloo!

There's only one book. Isn't there? But I'm always trying to write other ones. Right now I'm writing a gay Beauty and the Beast. The merchant father doesn't let Beauty pay for his mistakes. He's a sort of Mr Bennett. IN DISGUISE.

Omar Little! Michael K Williams said something like, "hey, can I get a copy of your book when it comes out?". This was before we knew we were doing a book.

I got to beta/review some really satisfying stuff this year. Speaking of gender switch, one was a gender switch Persuasion. I sort of didn't keep up with it though so I'm afraid the writers may have given up on me. I should email them!

....that was I.

The other book I was wondering about was Persephone. Gay Beauty and the Beast, whaaat? How would that even...your brain...it is weird and wonderful.
