JODY WALLACE & MEANKITTY: I saw on Facebook the idea of storing little notes about
positive and happy instances in a jar and reading them on New Year's 2013.
That's as close as I'm going to get to a resolution -- making a
"Hurrrah Jar" for the family and trying to put a few things in
it. I can't make a "Boo Jar" to balance it out because, knowing my
cynicism, it would be 3x as big, heh.
SHAWNA THOMAS: I
don't make resolutions. Probably because I beat myself up too much when/if I
don't keep them. I'm also a perfectionist so I put enough pressure on myself
during a routine day. It also seems like resolutions are extreme. "I
will exercise every day." when I already know I just don't have
time to make that a priority.
I
do, however, try to make goals for the year. This year I want to start my new
series and this year I really want to be more active online. I also do want to
lose 15 lbs but that's another story. :-)

GARREN: Last year I succeeded in my New Years Resolution of learning how
to keep the house (reasonably) clean. At least, I did for the first half of the
year. Then my life drastically changed. This year I shall revamp the resolution
to: "I will learn how to keep the house reasonably clean with two children
living here." I will take all the luck (and advice!) anyone can send...
JENNY SCHWARTZ: This year my New Year's Resolution is nothing but fun. I've signed up for the Australian Women Writers Challenge. You can, too! It's about reading, reviewing and being part of a supportive and enthusiastic book-loving community. http://australianwomenwriters.com/
NICOLE LUIKEN: For
many years I've made the same resolution: to get something published that
year. Sometimes I make it, sometimes I don't. My fantasy novel Soul
of Kandrith is coming out March 2013 so I've already made my goal! This
year my new resolution will have to be to sell something for 2014
instead.

ANGELA CAMPBELL:
Instead of making resolutions I'll
probably forget in a few weeks, this year I'm keeping it simple. My New Year's
resolution for 2013 is simply to write more! And eat less potato chips, but
that will never happen, so...
VS sez: Do you have a Resolution you make every year? A special one for 2013?
Best wishes from all of us for a very Happy New Year!
Jax,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know how you managed to keep your house reasonable clean. That's something I really struggle with. Either I'm writing or the house is tidy.
Jenny, that sounds like fun!
Nicole, here's to getting published in 2013! WooHoo!
Angela, Yeah, potato chips are strange things. You open the bag, eat one and then somehow they all disappear. ; )
I hope you all have a joyous and word-filled 2013!
I love the sound of an hurrah jar! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 everyone!
I made a New Year's Resolution several years ago that I was able to keep: never to make any more New Year's Resolutions. It's amazing how much happier I became.
