MMXIII: A New Gold Dawn

by Cameron Miquelon on 2 January 2013 · 8 comments

The sun has risen over the ashes of 2012, a year that was so rough at times that it almost ended nearly two weeks early. Yet, we have made it through to see a new gold dawn for the world of 2013.

MMXIII: A New Gold Dawn

Last year, as in previous years, I made a brief list of things I had wanted to accomplish in 2012. How well did I do?

  • Become self-employed if I could not find employment: Thud. While I am paid for my writing at Louisville.com, I’m not as employed I’d like to be.
  • Re-learn how to drive, regain license: Big bonk. Not enough money to spare.
  • Do more to promote Louisville and the city’s fashion scene: Ding! Granted, it’s through my work as a fashion writer at Louisville.com, but there it is.
  • Improve upon my photography, expand into film: Thud. I didn’t go into film cameras, though a few people do seem to love the photos I do take, going so far as to put one of them on their Pinterest.
  • Return to New York for NY Fashion Week/#IFBcon: Big bonk. I left the state once in 2012, and that was to pick up my media pass for Waterfront Fashion Week… across the river in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

What’s on my to-do list for 2013?

  • Dive headfirst into freelance writing.
  • Re-learn to drive, regain my license, buy first car.
  • Return to Indianapolis to resume laser hair reduction.
  • Begin hormone treatment again.
  • Become a freelance personal stylist.
  • Publish an e-book on Alexandria’s Genesis.
  • Raise $550 for voiceover training, start voiceover career.
  • Return to New York.
  • Obtain passport.
  • Purchase and use a DSLR, start freelance photography career.

That’s all I’ve got. What’s on your list for 2013?

Wow, that’s a hefty to do list. My goal is to learn how to use my DSLR, haha. Still on full auto mode. Another goal is to arrange a blogger get together, which of course you are invited to. I’ll email you details soon.

Woo-hoo! I, in turn, would like to invite you to the next meeting of the Louisville Press Club, which will meet again as soon as… spring, maybe? As soon as I know, I’ll let you know! :)

Cammy I wish you loads of luck! Freelance pays shit (at least for me) but with no real job waiting, I have got no other option but to keep plucking away too. So best of luck- I want to see you happy!

Getting my calendar organized is on my list of things to do this year. I’ve constantly been forgetting appointments/being late/etc. Embarrassing!
