This past year has been absolutely insane. High points have included doing the San Diego International Comic Convention with my two best girls, publishing not one, but three books, under two different names, trips to Georgia, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Washington, and other places too numerous to name, winning two Pegasus awards, and finishing two more books. It's a good thing I don't like holding still when I don't have to, I guess. Low points have included exhaustion, travel woes, illness, and throwing my back out. On the balance, I'm calling it a win.
Whether today is the beginning of your year, the beginning of your holiday season, or just another Tuesday, I wish all the best to you and yours. May your days be sweet, your fires be warm, and your skies be filled with stars.
Happy New Year.

Either way, may your new year be filled with cats and candy!

Thanks for the Journey earworm from your journal title, too.
And irrelevant to everything but a desire to share, I'm trying to figure out how to turn your "How Much Salt" into a sing-along type of song for tonight's Chantey Sing. Admittedly, I may chicken out because of the octave drop in the refrain/chorus portion. I don't want to break anyone's neck. But as of now, I'm still trying. Maybe a modified fifth?

(BTW, I made you a LOL based on my zombie slumber party Halloween costume-I did hollow eyes in dark green and my fake blood got on my gray and white face powder so the blood didn't show so much, not perfect but anyway, sparkly zombie lol. Hope it makes you smile:))

I appear to agree O_o;;

Next waking time? 5pm.
If you start the year as you will go on, this may be the year when I acknowledge that I should actually, y'know, sleep. O_o;; Damn.

Then I found out that once upon a time the year began in April until it was, yes, artificially changed (giving us the April fools, those people who didn't want to make the switch). I could buy a new year in spring when the earth is opening up.
Later I learned about Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year which always falls in September or early October, which is not far off from my school-days new year. Then, finally, I discovered the Druid/Celtic/Wiccan observation of the new year on Nov. 1st. This I also liked. Unlike many people I enjoy the dark time of year. I am not a summer child. So anything that celebrates "my time" as a starting point is okay by me.

In a rather appropriate bit of synergy; The October 30th episode of Writing Excuses podcast chose Rosemary and Rue as their Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week.
Congrats
