Okay, here's an idea.

avevale_intelligencerLots of people have done the census thing, and I've enjoyed reading them.
So how about this?
March 2021: living in modest detached house on Devon coast with Countess and three or four cats. Employed part-time at a local bookshop, but income from books and albums helps to cover bills. Countess still enjoying benefits of miracle cure for diabetic complications discovered in 2017, and finding blood sugar much easier to keep under control when exercise isn't agony. Discussing twenty-volume collector's edition of Mershane Chronicles with publisher, and looking forward to Nycon 26.
If you like this idea, post your ten-years-hence either as a comment or in your own journal. Feel free to be as wishful or as brutally honest as you desire.

Date: 2011-03-09 03:13 pm (UTC)Having won the lottery AND come up on ERNIE within the space of two years, I have moved out of London to a nice two-up/two-down modernised ex-farm-worker's cottage in the country - not too far from town, though! The diabetic-complications cure turned out to have extra benefits for the arthritic patient, so I am fit and well, apart from mild asthma (which is *so* much better now I'm out of London!). I've joined a local archery club and am doing reasonably well as usual; my new-ish (five years old) car gets me to and from filk cons, friends and family, and the interest from my winnings is enough to live on modestly, despite rampant inflation. The freelance proofreading is also doing well, and few of my online customers realise just how old I really am (despite the evidence of my CV!). However, I still have time for keeping the Chronicles of Mershane tidied up.
I'm still knitting, and have learnt several new techniques, so I am now able to produce ever more eldritch items. I am considering a collaboration with friends on a book of out-of-this-world knitting patterns.
I'm wondering if I should have an extension built (there's a lean-to already...) so that I could host larger houseparties - as it is, visitors have to sleep in the second bedroom-cum-library-cum-computer room, or on the dining-room floor.
