Guess what! I now have a mailing list! *checks things off of To Do List for July 2011* Yeah, I'm a little bit late to the game, but I'm here now so the party can start!  And by party I mean: Jessica's Epic Newsletter of Awesomeness   What will this newsletter include?  I'm so glad you asked!  It will have updates on cool things like release dates and projects. Plus, giveaways just for subscribers. Also, I swear on everything pure...

I so hate making yearly goal list because I always overshoot and try to do to much. I can't not set myself up for failure it seems. However, it's a good motivator to write my goals down and gain some accountability by making them public...so here I go. Writing and Publishing Goals: 1. Publish Attempting Elizabeth 2.
