Resolutions for the New Year

Drinking: Non-alcoholic Glögg... hey, it's still December and there's a whole bottle to finish!

Reading: Suzanne Collins - Catching Fire

Thank goodness January is almost here. Seriously. What with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all in a row I am all holiday-ed out. Good thing I'm single or else I'd have Valentine's Day to worry about next. (Talk about silver linings!)

Ahem. Moving on...

I'm pleased to say that I did accomplish my goals for 2010. There weren't that many, though, so it was kind of easy. Especially since the balls were already in motion for a couple of them in 2009. Okay, I'm blathering. Let's forget the past and move on to the future!

I'm keeping the list small again this year:

  • Work hard enough to garner the interest of an agent. Sign with said agent. (Boo-yah!) This may be wishful thinking, but we all know with enough hard work anything is possible!
  • Take a class about writing multiple novels a year. The most I've completed are two... with half of them edited. I know I can do more, do better. I just need a little push.
  • Write more than two novels this year. I'm aiming for at least three. Starting with this fabulous idea I got two months ago... *lost in thought*
  • Help keep my local writing group going. The support (and critiques - harsh critiques!) of other writers is priceless. But without aggressive pushing, the group will fall apart. It does every year. NOT THIS TIME!
And there are a few for this blog as well:
  • Don't forget to post
  • Tea Time Tuesday and Wishlist Wednesday need to be posted at least once a month
  • Don't forget to post!
As far as personal resolutions, I'm not sure I have any. Other than, maybe, cut out dairy for good. But have you ever tried vegan cheese? Blegh.

Happy New Year, everyone!

  1. I recently reread Catching Fire! Mark Reads (http://markreads.net/) is going through Catching Fire, it's pretty funny. I'm going to start Mockingjay soon. I've already read it, but I felt like reading the series again :)

    Good goals! Good luck!!
