The Road So Far: 2017

I love Supernatural with all my heart. It's one of my very favorite TV series (others include M*A*S*H, Teen Wolf, The Flash, and recently A Series of Unfortunate Events but we've finished with season 1 and Netflix might not even be bringing it back until January 2018 *screams*). I love the phrase I chose for my title that comes with the review of Supernatural: The Road So Far. It means that though a lot has happened in the past, the road stretches on.

It's the twentieth of January today. Only twenty pages into the book 2017. Not a lot of changes have taken place. We've watched good shows, I've read a couple books, and I've been working on my goals for the year. 

Right now, it's snowing and my mom's getting ready because we both have an eye appointment. I've never gone to the eye doctor before (as a patient), and I'm actually pretty nervous. I think I need glasses, which isn't a bad thought, but I'm anxious for the examination. It'll be fine, but it's all part of the new experience.

I have a couple story ideas in my head now, and I've got new plans for the one closest to being ready for publication. I hope that it'll run smoothly.

Also, there was a competition (still open until the end of January)  I entered in. It's the Nelson Algren Literary Content through the Chicago Tribune and it was taking up to two short stories per writer. I submitted two, and I felt really good about it. Even if I don't win, at least I tried something new. I will have a much greater chance of success by trying than I would if I just sat around doing nothing.

I hope everyone's 2017 is remarkable. I hope I can make it a wonderful year myself.
