Resolutions A GOGO!

Thumbs up for 2013

Hello 2013!! *echoes round internet like a stadium announcer*

Ahh a brand shiny new year with no mistakes in it (well not too many). Of course new year is the time that we all make resolutions with bright eyed enthusiasm only to see them fail by February.

This year I'm not sure I can make any resolutions, too much is up in the air and other than resolving to 'keep on going' I'm not doing much else.

Well maybe a few 'resolutions':

1. Keep on going (this cover everything from work/life/writing)
2. Be fit - this one I know will come and go. However I have been good at doing at least 30 minutes of exercise most days since November I should be good to keep on going. Swimming is fun!
3. Eat well(ish)
4. Write when you can
5. Treasure those you love

I'm hoping that I can at least stick to some of them... maybe.

What are your resolutions for 2013?

New Year, New...

I know we are almost at the end of January but things have been a tad hectic and I haven’t managed to properly post here since Christmas.

I usually hate new year and I have to say this year has surpassed all expectations in general ickiness. I am pulling myself hand over fist towards February with increasing desperation. As a result I haven’t quite got round to any sort of new year resolutions except make it to the middle of next week.

But what about after that? I can’t spend the rest of the year crawling my way through each month, ticking off the days until we hit 2013. I have to figure out what will 2012 bring me and what will I bring to 2012?

I do know one thing. The book will be heading to an agent. I know we have heard this before but this year I WILL DO IT! I have six chapters left to revise. There is no excuse (except for my tax return… that I do need to do).

The other plan for this year is for me to figure out a way to get to the States and get to stay. Some things changed at the end of 2011 and I am no longer thinking in terms of ‘me’ but am thinking in terms of ‘we’. A big change but lovely. Logistically problematic. I can only hope that I can get it sorted fast but there is a lot that can go wrong. Many a slip twixt cup and lip.

So here is to getting to February and to kicking 2012’s behind. YEEE HA!
