<\/p>\n

Starting off my new year with a resolution that I aim to maintain:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Write one blog post a day\u00a0every\u00a0day\u00a0of\u00a02019<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To make it easier on myself, I have decided that they don’t have to be of any length nor do they have to be spectacular thought pieces.<\/p>\n

They just have to be words (hell, even a single word) I have to post each day.<\/p>\n

I figure this will also help limit the amount of time I spend on social media and also ensure that I own and control all the content I put forward from here on out.<\/p>\n

Let’s get things started with something I am quite excited about:<\/p>\n

PUBLIC DOMAIN DAY!!<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right the infamous Sonny Bonno (yes the same Sonny Bonno of Sonny & Cher) copyright extension has finally ENDED!!<\/p>\n

So after 20 years,<\/u> creative works from 1923 will be released to the public domain!<\/p>\n

Here’s a nice list on GoodReads<\/a> that shows some of the most popular novels published in 1923.<\/p>\n

Also the Hathi Trust<\/a> is a fantastic place to find public domain ebooks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So get inspired and take a shot re-interpreting a now public domain book, or just enjoy downloading and reading some free books from 1923.<\/p>\n

Speaking of reading, anyone else starting off their GoodReads reading challenge for 2019 yet? I’ve set a very modest goal of just 12 books for the year.<\/p>\n

I am starting it off with “An Echo of Things to Come”<\/a> by James Islington (Book 2 of the Licanius Trilogy)<\/p>\n

I am anticipating being buried in projects and activities so I’ve decided to dial it back a bit. I managed to complete 56 books last year and I think that more than justifies my lower bar for the year.<\/p>\n

Well that’s it. I combined yesterday and today together into a single post, so Day 1& 2 of 365 completed.<\/p>\n

See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n
