Resolved [2016]
Happy New Year! According to WordPress’ algorithms, my local time is now 00:00 on January 1, 2016. I may or may not be awake, but this will go out regardless.
Yesterday, I looked back at 2015; today, I’m looking ahead to 2016 with the following resolutions:.
Reading
Read at least 100 books
Re-read the 41 official Discworld novels
Finish the TBR stack threatening to overtake the TV end table
Keep a good mix of fiction, nonfiction, and biography
Write down or otherwise mark quotes as I find them
Make better use of the Library, including the hold system & inter-library loan
Incur no library fines
Blogging
Keep a consistent blogging schedule
Write more fun-for-me posts, including poetry and short fiction
Take time to read and comment on others’ blogs
Grow Wicked Word Wednesday
Writing
Write a short review to be posted on Amazon & Goodreads for each book I read
Physically write something of importance or significance with pen and ink (or pencil . . . you get the idea).
FINISH THE BOOK
Life in General
Strive to be a better, happier person – the kind of person people want to be around and not just tolerate
Be more understanding that not everyone will understand my introversion and the things that make me tick, and that that’s OK
Compliment more than Complain
Sleep better
Declutter [even – gasp – if it means letting a few books find new homes]
