Finally!

Ze contract for November is done, and I'm home-free for the entire month of December. What does that mean?

Re-arranging our living room, as promised to Evy. I moved my desk into the living room so I could start work earlier, rather than in the bedroom, and since then she isn't happy about the "clutter" in the living room, so it's time to reorganize things.

Writing the first of 3 e-books I have planned for Complete Writing Solutions. That's right....three. Big plans for 2010, and I'm planning on transitioning over to mostly passive income for the year. One book will relate to globalization and learning how to become competitive on a global scale, and the other two books are going to be related to Bulgaria...but I'm not allowed to say more or I'll ruin the surprise :)

Getting Complete Writing Solutions into the market. The brand is there...now it's time to push the brand into the market. November was a pretty good start. I've had close to 1,000 hits on the website in a month. That's not enough to consider it professional by any means, but I've already been mentioned on three other freelance writer networks in the month of November, and I haven't even been pushing the brand out yet. Once I get the Twitter, Facebook, and LD connections up things should start to go nuts from here on out.

I have 2 short stories to get out in submission, and I'm still waiting on a third I sent out in June. See why I'm not relying on fiction to pay the bills? Freelance writing pays within a few days, whereas fiction can take 6 months to even hear back from editors.

Christmas, of course. Bulgarian Christmas (Koleda) is awesome :) Lots of fun traditions, and lots of good food. I'm looking forward to it, and this time I can actually speak a little bit of Bulgarian, so I'm actually really excited about that.

Other than that...I'm relaxing for the month. 2010 is going to be a kick-ass year, business-wise. Evy has some pretty big plans starting in January, and my plans are to see if I can't make at least 50% of my income next year as passive income.

That's it for now! Kicking back, drinking some beers, marinating some salmon for dinner tonight, and playing another round of Dragon Age: Origins. Cya'll on the flip side, and hope you had a happy Turkey Day!
