Generally I'm not a fan of January resolutions. Everyone has something to say about the new year and usually it comes after overindulging ourselves in ways we don't any other time of the year. This year I do have a goal but it comes with some practice behind it, so I'm optimistic.
My goal is to write more often. It's a vague goal, I know, but those are easier to accomplish. During my Christmas vacation from work I took a couple of nights to try and write. It wasn't as easy as some of you may think. I can't always concentrate well at home, especially when all the kids are home. Even if I ensconce myself in the library and keep quiet, there are distractions and interruptions.
Even though there were some distractions I did manage some good writing time. This has given me hope that I can learn to write more at home. Not only will writing at home give me more time for my ideas, by sitting down in more frequent spurts, improve the overall story.
Time will tell but I appreciate the support of my family when they try and talk to me and don't get an answer quite as quickly as usual. It's a new year and maybe this year I finally have a real, achievable resolution. Oh, and I'd like to lose a few more pounds. And have world peace.
