New Year's Resolutions

Sydneyd · Dec 27, 2010

I looked for this thread assuming somone would have started it. If I just didnt look hard enough, feel free to do the magic merge on this. If not, let's get this over with. New Years Resolutions everyone. Time to start thinking and declaring. I have three. Two of them are pretty lame

1. Lose Wieght. (stupid, cliche, but if you've seen my wasitline, you know it is needed.)

2. Stop Smoking. (I know, I am so unoriginal)

And 3. The one I am most excited about.

3. Do something that has to do with writing and/or getting published everyday. Whether that is editing, writing on a WIP, or sending out a query.

What about everyone else? Maybe if we join together it will be easier.

last year my new years resolution was to start cooking more often, which I did starting around September, so I still think that counts.

THIS year, it will be to cook even more frequently, so I'm thinking I'll start in August.

Wayne K · Dec 27, 2010

I'm going to smoke and drink more.

sadron · Dec 27, 2010

Write like mad.

jvc · Dec 27, 2010

Yes, I'd stop smoking, but I don't want to be known as a quitter. :chair

Wayne K · Dec 27, 2010

I'm going to quit quitting, Its redundant and annoying

Steph · Dec 27, 2010

1. Be nicer to everyone.
2. Lose weight.
3. Write a novel.
4. Work on my paranoia and insecureness.
5. Do better in my courses.

Wooooooo.

1. Get in shape.
2. Finish all unfinished manuscripts.
3. Relax more.
4. Sell a novel.
5. Drink less coffee.

Not necessarily in that order.

I refuse to set myself up for failure. I resolve nothing

You have a point. I'm rethinking the "smoke and drink more' thing now

that's something.
way to go, reg.

Caitlin Black · Dec 27, 2010

I'm with Reg.

I've never once lived up to a New Year's Resolution in the past. So I don't do them anymore.

BeatrixKiddo · Dec 27, 2010

To lose more weight and to do MORE actual writing instead of coming up with brilliant story ideas in my head that I forget by the time I remember to write them down.

brainstorm77 · Dec 27, 2010

None. I gave up making them long ago.

Eudoxia · Dec 27, 2010

I don't really enjoy New Year's resolutions because I never stuck to what I was planning to do. If I wanna do something, I'll just do it. Yet, there is something I'm hoping will get finished in 2011 and that is getting my friggin novel done!

Wayne K · Dec 27, 2010

I've changed my mind. I'm going to be more decisive this new year

Maybe

These.

I've like 5 unfinished/not edited manuscripts to work on.

Want to get fit. Tired of being tired.

I also want to save more money than I did last year and finally fix a budget I can live with.

I also want to read more.

stormie · Dec 27, 2010

To stop being calm before the storm. I'll just go right into the stormy thing.
Catch everyone off-guard.
That'd be fun.

rhymegirl · Dec 27, 2010

Well I think the only goal I accomplished in 2010 was to find a steady source of income. Luckily, that involves writing so I'm happy about that.

For 2011:
1. Make as much money as I can. (I was job hunting for about a year and a half or more, so I have some debts.)

2. Smile more, be more positive/upbeat.

3. Exercise every day.

Stlight · Dec 27, 2010

I will get over being angry with myself for the resolutions I made in the past and actually kept.

pinkrobot · Dec 27, 2010

1. Pick one of the three novels I've been working on and finish it.
2. Eat healthier.
3. Start cooking real meals instead of the kind that come in a box.
4. Think more positively about work, health, and life in general.
5. Read more blogs.

Sydneyd · Dec 27, 2010

I love everyone's resolutions!!! We can do it!

I find that my resolutions are often broken. But maybe this year, we can band together and actually get these things going. I for one am helping my new years resolution of losing wieght by eating all the sweets in my house by New Years. I know, it is a rough task, but someone has got to do it.

Don Evan Scott · Dec 30, 2010

1. Don't give up on first novel.
2. Don't give up on second.
3. Stop sweating over silly things.
4. Yea yea, ok, I need to get in shape too

Don Evan Scott · Dec 31, 2010
