a wish for a fragrant future

(cross-posted from no one knows why the wolf laughs)

i haven't done new year's resolutions for many years - resolutions tend to make me annoyed with myself for what i haven't done in the last year, rather than make me motivated for the upcoming one. so when i saw that Miss Annie of Blogdorf Goodman does wishes instead of resolutions for the year on her blog, i decided that was a fantastic idea, and i came up with five wishes for 2008.

1) obviously, i want more and more and more success (and money) for my writing in 2008. i want to finally see my work on the screen, with my name on it. i want to see my novels on the shelves. i'm thrilled with what i've gotten so far, but i want more. :)

2) i want my perfumes to get a real audience. (of course, i recognize now that i have to scale up to support that, but so long as i know...)

3) i want this year's election brouhaha in America to actually change something for the better. (well, a wolf can dream, can't she?)

4) if i can't manage to do it, i want someone to make a perfume that captures the smell of Hoya Carnosa.

5) last but not least, i want to travel someplace on my travel wishlist this year. i only went to Sundance last year, and while it was hella fun and i'm doing it again this year, it's not the same.

what are your wishes for the upcoming year?
