When I think about 2012, I feel tired. I have a lot of work to do, two large projects, that will take up the first six months of the year. And a trip, maybe. So I think my job this year, is not to set a list of the usual flights-of-fancy kind of resolutions I normally make, but to remind myself to stay the course. Use the groundwork I laid last year. Don’t lose focus now.
With that said, I would like to knit a pair of socks and cook the turkey that I meant to cook in 2011. And write a short story, the fiction kind.
Something else: I need to take a lot less social lunches at work. I hope my friends will understand that sometimes I need that hour to work on writing or to go outside for a walk. I haven’t been getting out for enough walks and fresh air at mid-day and it is taking a toll on my ability to be cheerful and also my ability to generate ideas.
Happy New Year, friends. Here we go.
I tell myself every damn year that I will write a short story! And every damn year, no short story! Tell you what, I’ll do it if you’ll do it.
Joolie, we are SO WRITING SHORT STORIES THIS YEAR!
LOL, stop being so damn social at work! Love it!
I know, it sounds ridiculous.
