Anti-New Years Resolution
I’m about three weeks late for a new years resolution. I never remember to make one on January 1st. I like to think it’s because it’s my birthday and who wants to lie to themselves on their own birthday? I usually get around to it a few days later and by March its a distant memory.
But there are some things I want to accomplish in my life this year though calling them resolutions seems like asking for trouble. Treating my writing with the respect it deserves is one. And making realistic goals for myself instead of the “I’m pumped at the moment so I’ll claim I’ll devote 50 bajillion hours (yes bajillion) to the cause” approach.
So my anti resolution is to be true to my craft and easy on the stress that tends to make finished manuscripts look like pipe dreams.
