Well, that was some year. On the downside, I got banned from traveling to the USA. On the upside I won a Hugo, was nominated for a Howie, had a lovely vacation showing Kevin some of my favorite places in Australia, acquired (well, rented) a home of my own, started a business, published a book and launched a magazine. I’m learning to podcast and do video. And this year’s BristolCon was a big success. It has all been rather frenetic.
For next year, obviously, I’ll be doing the best I can to make a success of Salon Futura and Wizard’s Tower. But at the same time, if we are making resolutions, I also need to be determined not to be silly. If it looks like the business is losing money, and will continue to lose money, then I need to let go. I can’t afford it, and in any case a vanity business will not get me a US visa. It will be an interesting year ahead.
I hope it is a successful business for you. I need to put some money towards it soon because it is an excellent magazine.
