New Year's Resolutions

Working On: Nothing today. I'm a lazy bastard :)
Waiting On: My acceptance letter from Samhain XD

It occured to me that this is December, the twelfth month of the year and therefore the LAST month. While going over all the things I wanted to accomplish this coming year, it dawned on me all the things I didn't get done. 08 I completed three manuscripts. THREE manuscripts, one of them being a Nanowrimo novel which I think turned out really well. This year, I got two short stories completed, both rejected so far, but that detail hardly matters since you expect to get just about everything rejected if you're in this business. I started and as of this writing have still not completed Nanowrimo (I don't count chapter outlines as getting work done), which was the only novel length project I set out to do this year.

Being as I had such an amazing year last year, all this really burns. So for this year, I'm going to start off a little smaller than my Amazing 08. My New Year's Resolution for 2010 is to complete my novel, and two others before 2011 hits. I'll also put a bigger effort into getting back to my crit partner faster, and sending out more submissions.

That, and losing fifteen pounds, is my promise to myself.
