Happy New Years!
Can you believe it's 2008?
Okay, so I have to brag, and it's not even about my books. I kept a New Years Resolution from last year. I decided to add walking to my (insert laughing here) workout routine. I've kept my resolution! How astonishing.
Any diet resolution I've ever made died at the first sign of the a cookie, candy or cake I encountered.
And speaking of lack of will power--I can't believe how much junk I've eaten in the last two weeks. I need a 12 Step program to get off the sugar!
Now onto my failure--regular blogging and participating in lists. The lists are a lost cause. I just don't have the stamina to keep up with the lists I'm on. I really don't even read them any more. Mostly due to time, and I have learned to save my emotional energy for writing. I will try to be better at blogging though.
Something I really don't talk about a lot on this blog is the book I'm working on. It's mostly superstition. The process of getting what's in my head onto paper has an element of magic that I am truly afraid to analyze too much, or mess with. Every time I think I know EXACTLY how to write a book, something happens to slap me back to reality. So while I occasionally give updates, they are mostly surface things. I just don't want to piss off the process or my characters :-)
Back to New Years...do you make resolutions? Do you keep them? Did you get your fill of junk food?

I am on one list, but I read (when time allows) about 20 blogs and I always try to make even the smallest comment when I have. But one list and 20 blogs is all I can handle.
As to the holidays I was pretty good, or so I thought until I looked at the scales. ho hum.
My resolutions, I did half assed last year, so I am sticking to it this year and adding a few more for good measure.
First, I resolve to write more, at least two blogs per week (but I can bank extras from wordy weeks [please send Meme’s to help me meet my goal].) This also means at least three poems a month.
Secondly, I resolve to meet more of my blogger/internet friends.
Thirdly, I resolve to get more people in my Writer’s Chat. All interested – poets, short story penners, bloggers alike apply in cyber form at 9pm Pacific. Writers Workshop We chat at 9, post at 10pm.
Fourthly, I resolve to keep my promises, to be the best I can be, and to communicate, validate, and appreciate those in my life, both walking and cybering.
Fifthly, I resolve to make people laugh, think, and think while they laugh.
Here's to 2008
The scale...SHUDDER!!!! Don't want to talk about that, LOL!
Cele, you have a great resolution list, I like the way you set specific goals. I should do that.
I love your forth and fifth resolutions. They really show what a caring woman you are!
