New Year's Resolutions

Well, it's arrived - 2012. And another chance to list those resolutions which, in my experience, generally last about five minutes! But this year it's going to be different - no really. Having lost two very special friends to cancer in 2011, I'm acutely aware of my own mortality and the need to get down on paper all the storylines that have been buzzing around in  my head for far too long. Procrastination is no longer a recognised concept!

So I've drafted out a writing timetable for January to March with targets and realistic deadlines. Because I know I respond better when under a bit of pressure, I've built in a couple of competitions with closing dates end January and end February. (My Tax Return might get in the way of the January deadline!)

I am resolved to make 2012 the most productive year yet! If there's anyone out there ready to share my resolution, I'd love to hear from you. Happy New Year.

    I share your resolution Christine. I need deadlines for my writing too. However, family, photography, travel, ski-ing, hiking, Army Cadet Force etc make up much of my life's every day occurences - not to mention former pupils'requests to far flung places (which I love) so ... perhaps I do need a Resolution for 2012. I think I'm on my nth redraft for my novel so before travel to India calls me in April I'll follow your example and have a schedule for January to March- if nothing else intervenes!! Liz
