I don't care about New Year's resolutions. (They're just lies we tell ourselves.) I'm not interested in predictions for 2023. But I'd like it if you shared Your wishes and dreams for 2023!

I have 3 wishes for this coming year.... 1. My house gets fixed up 2. My kids succeed in their endeavours 3. I get that darned fanfic I've been working on for 2 years finished!!!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

1. Work on back end titles with my dog, like Rally and Obedience 2. Apply for art shows and do more art.

I wish I could go home and stay home. I wish more people would respond to my posts. I wish my writing would return to the level it was at when I joined Gatchamania.net. Sometimes that seems like too much to ask.

I mostly want my mental energy and motivation levels for fic writing to increase again. And I want to feel like I have the time to be creative. I also hope all my fellow Gatchaman fans remain happy and healthy throughout the year. And wish for a little more interaction with you all here. (Yes, I know that also requires additional effort on my part as well)

I can't believe I forgot this: I hope Hesoten gets her cataract surgery!

I have a few goals: Finish my ART Therapy Diploma this year. Tentatively: Start the Master's Degree in June. I have had to put it off for 2 years because of moving house and raising 5 kids. (I have a lot more empathy with Nambu these days! ) I might have to wait for unit 2024 with more formal studies that's when my youngest starts kindergarten. Watch some of my kid's anime favourites with them. I haven't had time for any anime due to studies and starting in private practice. My teenage daughters now have swords! My girls are ninjas and are totally into Japanese anime.
