I have been dedicating myself to a new change in direction for my work. It's only been about a month and a half--far too soon to tell whether this will be successful or not. I promised myself to keep at it for six months, starting January 1 of this year, before deciding whether to continue on this new direction or abandon it to reassess. Early returns are mixed; better than expected, but worse than hoped. I'll just have to keep at it until the end of June, by which time I'll have perfected a series of methods and will be better positioned to crank out the work on a more regular basis.
