Resolutions

Most of you know how I feel about goals. Last year around this time, I yammered on about how they must be specific, quantifiable, realistic, and attainable, and how above all, you (er... I) should be accountable for sticking to them.

Somewhere around mid-year, I fell off the write-every-day wagon.

How did this happen, given that I am the self-professed queen of making specific, quantifiable, realistic, attainable goals and sticking to them like bubble gum on shoes?

Because... I missed a bullet point. I should've added this tiny detail here:

• Goals must be a priority

Even a goal like "get out of bed by noon" won't come to pass if it seems more important to lay in a sea of pillows with the TiVo remote and a plateful of comfort food.

So. My #1 goal for 2009 is:

Write/Revise/Plot/Daydream about my WIPs every single day, even if a few stolen moments is all I have.

1b: Because it matters.

You?

Bleh, home sick! :-(

Hope all of you are enjoying your holidays and avoiding, yanno, viruses that cause excessive amounts of mucus to build up in your sinuses and slide down the back of your throat getting sick.

Did you stay home? Road trip? Still gone? Glad to be back? Holla...

Pass me a Defibrillator, Please

I'm Alive!

I just got back from sunny rainy Costa Rica. Photo evidence coming soon!
