I spent 2009 planning and scheming and writing and talking and thinking. Lots of thinking!

This was all good stuff to do, in addition to the freelance work I had. But I did very little MAKING of STUFF!

I made a zine of some of my old articles and prose writing and took it to the [National Young Writers Festival](http://www.youngwritersfestival.org/?ref=nakedfella.com).

I made [a little cartoon](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq0DUtfbvL0&ref=nakedfella.com) advertising a series of comics forums we put on at the [Comedy Festival](http://www.comedyfestival.com.au/?ref=nakedfella.com). I made it in one day and quite a lot of people saw it.

I made a few pages of comics and an [interactive Youtube survey](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEblOcMFzA4&ref=nakedfella.com) and a helpful [example of lazy storyboarding](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3gvkJZD7xw&ref=nakedfella.com).

But that's all I made, and it's not enough.

So 2010 will be a "making" year. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to spend time making. Some are things which I hope will move me closer to getting the *Precinct* animated series happening, and some are just things I've had "on the shelf" for years.

Here's my list so far:

1. Series of one minute *Precinct* shorts introducing the characters
2. *Precinct*\-themed video for new John Farnham song
3. *Precinct* drawings for [survey](http://www.theprecinctrocks.com/survey/?ref=nakedfella.com) winners
4. Printed collection of that weekly thing I have nothing to do with \- coming along
5. *John Howard's Knees* (short musical cartoon) \- written
6. *Gay Cannibal Grand Final* (very nasty Up There Cazaly parody) \- mostly written
7. *Herman, the Legal Labrador* children's book story
8. Revised *Precinct* pitch/bible/promo (good idea, but NOT A REAL THING!)
9. *Herman* kids series pitch/bible/promo (again, this is PLANNING, not a REAL THING)
10. *The Precinct: Playing To Win* \- mostly boarded
11. *Make Love To The Trees* (short musical cartoon) \- song recorded
12. New *Mr Flig* animation \- partially written
13. "Animation collective"?
14. *Precinct*/*Herman*\-themed online choose-your-own-adventure \- started
15. POWAAA! \- DONE: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEdtcGWOPd0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEdtcGWOPd0&ref=nakedfella.com)
16. Animation based on that weekly thing I have nothing to do with
17. Ask Dillon what happened with that other thing
18. *Cat vs. Mouse*
19. Live performance of CYOA story
20. Keep making animatics (worthwhile?)
21. Keep writing *Precinct* episode scripts
22. *Precinct* avatar creator app

I'm going to try to do/finish many of those things this year!

I will need assistance with some of them, so my apologies if I come and bug you and ask for your help or advice; it's only because

- I think you're great
- I'm MAKING STUFF this year and nothing is going to stop me, least of all my own shyness/slackarsedness

Huzzah!
