I mean, really. You do it. I do it. We all do it. "This year is gonna be sooooo much better! I'm going to fix everything!" We might set ourselves up for a little bit of failure.
Still, there's something to be said for using a new year as a starting point for better habits as long as those habits and goals are reasonable with real plans. Personally, my resolution this year is the same as always: more writing. This year looks to be more plausible. I am taking my last two online classes for my degree (like Tommy Boy, my degree will have only taken something like seven years) and will be done by March. Hooray!!! I'm only 150 years old. It's all good.
I have been continuing to sneak in some book three writing around work, school, and the holidays, and it's been satisfying. And here's the thing. As a writer, I enjoy my characters and my story, but occasionally, a scene will just set me on fire for a book even if I've been working on it for a while. I had a scene like that happen. My Labor Day nap breakthrough (read my last post from forever ago) really paid off. I cannot wait to get this book done and out to you guys. I really, really think you're gonna like it! I've got a few surprises in store for you. Please don't give up on me! I'm still alive. Still writing. Still dreaming.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2020!
