Re: Writing Resolutions for 2008?
Mon, December 31, 2007 - 8:57 PMThis goes on my wall (replacing and expanding on a similar sheet for 2007):
I dedicate myself to the following for 2008:
* Daily work on Book #6, preparation of Deviations: Appetite (Book #2), and any other work in preparation for Aisling.
* Work on short fiction and poetry projects.
* Reading/Researching/Marketing smaller pieces.
* Keep abreast of literature and involved in SFWA activities.
* (bolded) Stay healthy: exercise, healthy foods, enough sleep.
* (bolded) Stay well-grounded for conventions: travel, panels, networking, etc.
* Keep on top of schedules and prioritize!
* Honor the Muse in whatever way She comes, in whatever format.
* Keep connected to readers and get out there.
* (bolded) Do not be afraid to go for the gusto. Do not fear risk. You only take this ride once.
* Keep persevering and keep the faith! Keep your eyes on the prize and follow the dream.
* Give thanks daily and live each day to the fullest.
Write. Reveal. Bear Witness. Evidence the Human Condition.
Be Honest. Be Visible.
Do What You Were Meant To Do. DAILY.
