I Don't Do Resolutions

Ahh...the New Year. Marking the new year means formulating personal resolutions for the upcoming year. I've decided that resolutions are for the birds, so this year, I'm simply making plans.

One thing I'd like to do more of this year is write. Blogging has been a really good exercise, and it's become less of a chore now and something more enjoyable.

My friend and fellow blogger, Linda Lou, has long been encouraging me to pursue getting something published outside of the blog world. Last year I had every intention of doing so, but had many excuses for not. Linda had practically handed me some fresh opportunities to go after, but I did not take advantage of the situation. Since I'm looking for something new to achieve this year, I figure that by diving headfirst into this endeavor, I don't have anything to lose. Plus, I'll have Linda to console me if I fail to keep up momentum or if things go terribly wrong. I can't imagine that things will go awry in the writing venue but just in case, I'll be sure to keep my day job.

Correction: You'll have Linda to NAG you if you fail to keep up momentum. And nothing will go terribly wrong--that would be impossible.

I'm so proud of you, Sarah! Keep up with your writing and by the time you're my age, you'll be absolutely AMAZING!
