The inevitable return of the Black Sheep

So this blog has been dead for a while now, mostly due to me being incredibly busy at work and dealing with last years New Years resolution to get back in shape.  Well I am proud to say that that resolution was accomplished as now i have lost a total of 50 pounds and counting.  I've also moved some of the things around in my life so that I can devote a lot more time to my writing, which brings me to this years New Years resolution.

Since last year I devoted my time to my body, this year I will devote more time to my mind.  My goal is to write 24 blogs this year. That may now sound like to much since it only averages two blogs per month but considering that I only managed to produce 7 blogs last year it does sound like a pretty lofty goal.   I plan on keeping the blog fresh by branching out to more mediums including book reviews as well as making some themed blogs. For instance I plan on doing Freaky February and do only horror reviews since that is what I have been watching the most of lately. As always i will welcome feedback and suggestions in the comments.

Adding on to that lofty goal I will also be breaking ground on my first novel as well. It will be a non fictional account of the time i spent in Tent City. It will mostly be about how I was struggling with substance abuse, unemployment and incarceration all while in the most renowned jail in the country.  It was a very big turning point in my life and I've found that most people become very engaged on the story whenever it comes up so i figured i would just get it off my chest once and for all.

So those are the goals for the year, obviously if I can go harder and produce more then i will.  So far I have almost 40 likes on face book (almost half of which are people not on my friends list! thanks to everyone that has liked and shared!) and I was thinking of doing some cheesy giveaways for when I hit 50 75 and 100 so keep a look out for those as well and as always please remember to like and share!
