After surviving this past year, I\u2019ve looked back to see what I\u2019ve accomplished. It\u2019s not much.<\/p>\r\n<h3>What I&#8217;ve Accomplished<\/h3>\r\n<p>I have finished my first round of edits on The Witch\u2019s Complement. I plan on publishing it in 2021. I started the first draft of the second book in that series.<\/p>\r\n<p>I entered a flash fiction contest. The rules were to write a 250-word story on the topic given within 24 hours. I will know the results in January.<\/p>\r\n<p>I wrote rough drafts of two short stories, one of which will be a freebie for anyone signing up for my newsletter. The other is solidly in the erotica category, which has me considering submitting it to an anthology or writing several short stories in that genre and releasing it as a set of erotic short stories.<\/p>\r\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-490\" src=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-1024x390.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-1024x390.png 1024w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-1536x584.png 1536w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-2048x779.png 2048w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Completed-600x228.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>I spent the last 5 months teaching my son and his friend via e-learning with the local primary school. I knew that teaching was hard, but I never considered the emotional and mental toll it takes on a person. Just the patience I had to maintain sucked away my mental strength. Teachers do not get paid enough to put up with and teach our bratty children.<\/p>\r\n<p>I lived through being an \u201cessential worker\u201d for almost 6 months before I quit to teach my son. My job was neither essential nor fulfilling. They gutted my department by 40% within the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> month of the pandemic and expected everyone to keep a positive attitude. I\u2019d never been so disgruntled in all my life.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Past Goals vs Future Desires<\/h3>\r\n<p>Now I am facing 2021 looking back on my 2020 goals. My goals for 2020 were a bit great. <a href=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/01\/2019-book-favorites-and-2020-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can read them here.<\/a> I wanted to post one blog a week. That did not happen. And looking back, even in the first two months, I felt that it would not happen. It was too much for me on top of all my other responsibilities.<\/p>\r\n<p>My writing goal of finishing my first draft and publishing was off. The pandemic stress and constantly changing priorities blew it out of the water. Without the pandemic, I think I could have been ready to publish by October, which is still past my original goal of July.<\/p>\r\n<p>The conference goals were just dead by March. They were all canceled. I have no idea what conventions will be up and running this year.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_491\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-491\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-491\" src=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_.png 940w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_-20x17.png 20w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/What-Goals_-600x503.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What goals? Did you have goals? I lost mine&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>My reading goals died with my stress level. Failing the goal of reading 36 books by the end of the year is the one that upsets me the most. I love to read. But I had a hard time concentrating this year. It just didn\u2019t happen. I read 16 books, not even half of my goal.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Looking Forward<\/h3>\r\n<p>So goodbye 2020. I look toward 2021, and the only thing that I really want to do is publish my novella. So that will be my goal for the year. Anything else I accomplish is icing on the book cake. Now I want cake in the shape of a book.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-492\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-492 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-642x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-642x1024.png 642w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-188x300.png 188w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-768x1226.png 768w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-963x1536.png 963w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-1283x2048.png 1283w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-13x20.png 13w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement-600x957.png 600w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Witchs-Complement.png 1410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place holder for my book cover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>Whatever 2021 brings, let\u2019s all try to great it with flexibility and understanding.

I will no longer wait for that proverbial shoe to fall, but walk forward wearing a hard hat, knowing it will fall.
