But resolutions are easily broken. Heck, it's a tradition to break them, and yes, Virginia, the sooner you break them the more points you get. Hence, I don't like the word or the idea of "resolutions." I prefer goals or, my all-time favorite, to-do lists. I get orgasmic if I can cross something off a list. Ooh.
So I've compiled my to-do list for 2012. The "trick" to a good to-do list is to be specific, to be realistic and to keep it short. For example:
1. Get up one hour early on weekdays to write or revise manuscript.
2. Have new pages for Critique partner every other week.
3. Attend monthly RWA Chapter meetings to network and energize.
4. Submit short story / enter contest every quarter.
Short, sweet and to the point -- and better yet, these items are achievable and affirming to the Writer within. And, isn't that the whole point of New Year's Resolutions?
What's on Your to-do list for 2012?
