New Year's Resolutions Anyone?

Okay, it's that time of year when everyone starts making New Year's Resolutions. I saw some postings on Facebook of people pre-planning their resolutions and I started thinking about what I would pledge this year.

There are the constants: lose weight (got rid of all the junk food), exercise more (I've joined the Y), etc. But I wanted to dig deeper, really think of things that not only matter to me, but to my family as well.

This year I really want to be more patient, less critical. I want to be more accepting and relaxed. I want to address laundry before it gets to the point no one has clean underwear. So I have taught the kids how to do laundry.

So those ideas have been added to my list and I'll add some more, less Facebook and more writing. Less surfing the net and more writing. Basically, more writing, writing, writing.

What are some of your resolutions? And what are you doing to make sure you stick to them?

Toodles for now~

New Year's Resolution

2008 is nearly upon us and many of us will create a list of New Year's Resolutions that will help us improve our daily efforts. Popular resolutions: lose weight, exercise more, watch spending habits~ there are so many.

Of course as a writer, I want to write more, submit (to publishers) more, enter contest, and focus on my career more.

As with many resolutions, they go to the way side around January 15th. How can we stick with our resolutions? I think planning, not being afraid of failure, and lists can help. Each year I create a list of what I have accomplished for 2007 and then I create a list of what I want to accomplish in 2008. So, when I look at the list I made last year, I can check off what I completed and it is truly interesting. I think we actually accomplish more than we realize, but don't see it because it isn't documented.

What is your New Year's Resolution? Writing or otherwise.

That's it according to Maddy~
