Normally I don't do resolutions. I never keep them and end up feeling guilty for not sticking to them. This year, I'm going to try it again. I gave myself some slack though...there's only three.
Resolution #1: Write more. I know I'll never get anywhere if I don't practice. Hopefully I won't be so horrified by what comes out on the page that I don't stop!
Resolution #2: Take things slow. I find myself rushing through things, whether thinking through a problem, working on projects, or making decisions. This does not help my anxiety problems!
Resolution #3: Make healthy decisions. Not just regarding my eating habits, but my spending habits, my living habits, and my social habits. Being that I'm broke, this shouldn't be too hard.
And, to snag an idea from a blog I follow, here are 5 scenes I'd like to write this year:
#1: A scene involving deja vu and a practical joke in a beach setting.
#2: A scene with a motorcycle race through a downtown metropolis.
#3: A scene where a character is recalling a humorous anecdote that another character reveals as false.
#4: A scene where a character has to deal with a woman in labor at an unconventional place.
#5: A scene where a nervous breakdown leads to a first date.
Hopefully I can do these justice and get a little practice in while I'm at it!
Well, that's it for my first post of 2011! Happy New Year Everyone!!
