I'm one of those people who make resolutions when the New Year looms. Can't help it. Just do.
So, mine for this year:
1) Stop reading reviews. This is a big one for me because I let them affect me all too much. Some reviews, whether on a blog or on reader sites, have crushed my spirit to the point I have seriously thought of giving up writing. I don't think I will be entirely successful at not reading reviews of my work but I am going to be a lot better about resisting the urge to google myself to find them.
2) Lose weight. This one comes up every year. But I know I am not as healthy as I should be and if I don't do something soon, well, it could be too late. So I must try.
3) Manage my money better. Basically keep track of what I am spending and stop spending it on frivolous stuff I really don't need. I can't tell you how many earrings I own that I almost never wear, how many video games I almost never play, and how many cross stitch kits I will never do.
4) Appreciate what I have in my life more instead of envying what someone else has
5) Have eight to ten published stories
Do you do resolutions? If so, what are yours? If not, why not?
