New Year. New Me. Or whatever.
I don’t buy the phrase honestly. But I do resolutions. Does that make me a hypocrite?

Probably. 😉
So last year I wanted to read more, stay on my meds, lose weight, drink more water, look into freelancing, and get my novel ready to whore itself out to agents. By the end of the year, I read the same amount I always do (which was already all the time and I don’t know why I thought it would be a good resolution except it was easy), got off my medication completely, lost ten pounds, cut down pop to once a day, started working for four different freelancing places (one was a bust but I’m counting it because I signed paperwork), and got the third draft of my novel complete.
So progress. Mostly.
I don’t think it’s very productive to make a huge list of things you want to better or accomplish because when there’s too much stuff it’s almost unobtainable.
Did I mention that I’m a hypocrite? 😉
So, let’s take a second and assume you care (because if you made it this far, you may as well power through to the end). Here, for your viewing pleasure and eventual ammunition to throw in my face come December, is my New Year’s resolutions (in long unobtainable list form):
- Lose ten pounds
- Keep to writing and cleaning schedule
- Take one day every couple of weeks to do absolutely nothing
- Go on more dates
- Do more social networking for writing and less for personal
- Be more involved with family and keep track of birthdays
- Pay off credit cards and car loan
- Go out of town to see friends more often just because
- Take Jax (old grumpo) to good doggo classes
- Take doggos for more walks
- Declutter physical and digital files
- Locate my self-esteem
Totally doable, right? Not shooting too far?
Do you do resolutions? If you do, in what ways are you looking to improve yourself? Or are you cool with who you are and what you’re doing already?
