So, resolutions for the new year:

Body: Work on siting up straight. I’ve noticed my slouching has gotten worse and I think it’s exacerbating my tight back/neck muscle situations. Plus, it’s just generally a good thing to sit straight.

Mind: Read at least one “real” book for every 2-3 romance novels. Not only will this help my writing (by giving me variety and a fresh palate), but hey, I might actually learn things by reading nonfiction too!

Soul: Meditate once a week. My guess is that this will be the first to fail. I’m being flexible on length and all that sort of thing so I’m more likely to succeed. I just need to take some time to relax and breath and refocus my energies so I don’t get worn down like I did this summer.

Other things I’d like to do this year:
* Work more on being published.
* Get my tattoo. (It’s only been planned for the past 6 years.)
* Read more books I already own. (Stop laughing.)
* Get more fit. Really just need to get back into routine of working out after work.

I don’t recall doing a ‘resolutions’ list last year (my searches came up empty, but it wasn’t a hard search). So I can’t say how I did this year. but I lost some weight and wrote more, so I feel pretty good about things so far.

As for this year:

* I want to write once a week. I’ve been doing really good with this lately and I did pretty well last year (err, for parts of it. I think there was some massive failing in the summer). One, because I’d love to finish the book I’m working on (which is quickly become a series in my head…whoops). Two, because I enjoy it. It oddly gives me something to look forward to on Mondays 🙂

* I want to participate in Nanowrimo (Soba, can you hear me pronouncing it funny? Cause I can.) this year. Which terrifies me. But I want to step up and do the challenge! *trembles*

* I’d love to get down to 120 weight wise, but I’ll settle with just being more fit.

* Read more. I know, some people think I’m nuts, but I’d really love to read the stacks of books that I own that I don’t read. Of course, I just got back from the bookstore…

* Meditate/destress. I seriously need to chill or something I’ll figure out the details later.
