I am Resolved

I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions. I try to have revolving goals throughout the year. But I thought that I would sit down this year and contemplate what I would like to accomplish in the year ahead - especially with my writing. So, if you don't mind I would like to share with you my resolutions, both for writing and my personal life.

Writing

I want to have the first draft of Three of Ivory finished by the middle of 2012. And I would like to have it *almost* ready to begin querying by the end of the year.

I plan to submit Shadowed Stones to at least two publishers next year. More if I can squeeze them in.

I want to attend at least one writing conference and love it!

And I want to keep up with my blogging.

Personal

Lose weight. Okay, I know most people out there are in this same boat. If you are not - good for you! But over the past few years I have really struggle with me weight and it is affecting my health. So by the end of next year I WILL have reached my target weight.

I used to write a journal entry every day. This is something that I have gotten out of the habit of doing - and I want to get that back. So I am going to start with writing in my journal once a week and see how that goes.

I am terrible at keeping up with my house work. I want to be better at it so I don't feel so guilty when I sit down to write.

Religious

I am very devoted to my religion, but as in all things in life - I could be doing better. I want to be more faithful, give more service, and do more.

Do you have any new years resolutions?
