Reading: Dragon Tattoo. Still. (Been a bit busy...I'm so embarrassed.)
Well, It's been nearly a week since the new year began. It seems to be going really well and I hope you're experiencing the same! Here's a quick rehash of my resolutions and how they're going:
- Spend less, save more. I'm kicking it off with a personal, month-long spending freeze. I was inspired by this post over on Smart and Sassy with Sprinkles back in September. The purpose of the freeze is to retrain your thoughts about money and spending habits while saving the money you would have spent. So far it's been easier than expected. (Let's just hope I didn't jinx it by saying that!) If I don't want to spend anything - I just don't go anywhere. (Or visit my favorite online retailers...oh shoot, now I'm thinking about them... amazon kindle storefront...katespade.com oh how I've missed you...)
- Anyway, the whole going nowhere thing is probably why my writing/revising goals are coming along nicely too. Butt-in-chair-hands-on-keyboard. I've been editing at least one chapter a day of last year's NaNoWriMo novel. The plan is to completely edit this one and maybe half of my polyandry story before Camp NaNo starts. (When I'll write the two novels in my resolution.) We'll see how it goes next week. Hoping no Crappy Excuse Trolls rear their ugly heads. Must load up on water guns. Trolls hate water, right???
- What was my other goal? Oh right. Find a boyfriend. Well it's only been 6 days. I'm not that desperate. (Yet.) (Kidding!) (Okay, will stop typing now because this is supremely embarrassing.) ;-)
So that's that. Did you make any resolutions or goals for 2012? How are you faring? I'd love to hear about it! :-)
never make new year's resolutions; I make resolutions for the day, every day. One day at a time, all the time... that said, if a new year is what helps, go for it.
ReplyDeletePierre, that's a wonderful way of looking at it. The whole "how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time" thing. I think making daily goals makes it easier to accomplish what you want rather than just declaring a huge, seemingly impossible resolution on the first of every year. But on the flip-side, some people (like me...*coughcough*...) need that extra boost of declaration. :-)
