Resolution-Update and Photos

The first half of 2011 is almost over, so it's time to take a look at my resolutions for the year to see how I've been doing.


Reading


· Read the 20 books I listed for the Debut Author Challenge 2011.


Update: I've read 6 of the books so far (XVI, Timeless, Warped, Divergent, Across the Universe, The Near Witch). I've fallen behind. Need to read more debuts in the second half of 2011!



  • Read more books than in 2010 (more than 45). This resolution might interfere with the two following resolutions...

Update: I've read 36 books so far. If I keep it up I'll definitely reach my goal!


Writing


· Write the sequel to THE OTHER LIFE


· Write secret novel. Let's call it ALOMF. (I'm soooo excited about that one)


Update: I wrote both books. Yay! Reached my goal early!


Personal



  • Clean the house more often

Update: Umm...let's not talk about this one...



  • Use the WiiFit to get fit

Update: I've been using the WiiFit now and then. Need to work out more often! BUT I lost 14lbs since the start of the year, so yay!


I spent a few days in Stuttgart last week and it was lovely! Here are a few photos:













There's a new group blog of debut sci-fi authors. It's called BRAVE NEW WORDS!


I'm leaving for my vacation tomorrow. Almost 3 weeks touring the east coast! I'm not looking forward to the 8-hour flight but apart from that I'm super excited!

Summer time!

It's summer. Finally!
That means I'm spending less time online and more time outside! Like in the zoo!








Oh, and I thought it was time for a new styling.

New haircut!


Enjoy the summer! In less than three weeks I'll be on vacation for a few weeks. I can't wait. Blogging probably won't happen unless there's news.
