It wasn’t particularly horrible, not superlatively awesome, but, well, it was okay. I didn’t do much by way of getting stories published, though I did get some nice rejections. I was hired to run a blog and then, when it turned out the company hadn’t budgeted for real pay for writers, things went south, very quickly. All the writers did get paid, I’m proud of that, and I feel good about standing my ground on the way I’d want work with bloggers when at the helm. I learned a lot, enough to get hired to run another blog under a different but ultimately better model. I had plenty of tech work and I paid my quarterly taxes mostly on time and I never once cried about work, an improvement over last year, that’s for sure. I got to hang out with all kinds of great people in amazing places — New York City, Santa Barbara, Hawaii, Alaska, Seattle… So when I look back, I think, yeah that was okay. A good year for travel, a good year for work.<\/p>\n

Usually, I recap my adventures for the year, but there were so many little local ones and a few that were, well, kind of huge. The little ones weren’t less awesome than the bigger, far away adventures, though, sometimes, something small and close to home can knock you off your feet. But this year, rather than recap the “best of” stuff from my weird year, I’m going to pull my favorite posts and list them. They’re kind of random, subject-wise. I picked two that are essentially single photos, and there’s some stuff here that’s kind of meta — writing about writing, you know? And even though I didn’t publish much, I think it was a good year for writing.<\/p>\n
