Eric,

Pronouncements like this are generally a great way to think you're getting 
something done. 
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that since you said something that it will 
happen.

Figure a project for yourself, or a set of projects, to get your fingers into 
the work. And I don't mean just plan a project … do it. 

One of my projects this year is to make two nice prints every week. First two 
are sitting on the table next to me now. I've ordered the storage box and clear 
sleeves for the prints. By end of year I will see 104 prints ready to show, or 
use as gifts, or whatever. That's the starting point.

onwards!
