The end of another year. This has been the year I have least worked on what I have wanted, which is why I am making employment changes (per an earlier post)…<\/p>\n

For 2012, I resolve to do the following things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Schedule time to write six days a week. Even if it is not for long (on some days), I need to make sure I am in the habit of writing everyday.<\/li>\n
  2. Devote quality time to my writing. Although it is important to write frequently, it is also important to write for long periods. Ten minutes a day won’t get many things finished!<\/li>\n
  3. Be more intentional about building a network of people with similar ambitions and goals. Who knows who I can help in their careers, and who can help me.<\/li>\n
  4. Speaking of finishing things, I need to finish what I start, instead of skipping around different projects.<\/li>\n
  5. Get a short film made.<\/li>\n
  6. Enter at least two screenwriting competitions.<\/li>\n
  7. Exercise more regularly! I know I won’t get back to my peak shape from my early twenties, but I can certainly get part of the way there!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am sure things will pop up that seek to break these resolutions, but if I print them out and put them somewhere visible (and maybe keep changing the position of the print-out so I don’t just tune it out) I think it will help.<\/p>\n

    Here’s to a great 2012, and I hope it treats you as well, if not better than, 2011.<\/p>\n
