Wow...it's 2010!!

How did so much time go by?
A minute ago it was about to be Thanksgiving 2009. :)

Okay, I've been trying to stick to a routine of writing as one of my many New Year's resolutions. Usually, I can finish 250K-300K words a year. 2009 was a low year for me. I let myself get distracted. Then I said yes to time consuming things when I should have screamed a resounding NO!
This year no more Mrs. Nice Guy. Repeat after me, "No, I'm sorry, I don't have time to do ______(fill in the blank) I'm too busy writing."

And I've been such a good little writer so far this year.
Yes...I'm aware it's only January. But I've already written more for January 2010 than I did for either Jan. 2008 or Jan. 2009.
Progress, right? :) (Just nod for me here)

I'm on a mission to double my word count this year.
Wish me luck. And remember my new word for the year is No.

Happy New Year's Eve

In a few hours it will be a brand new year.
Shocking, right?
As usual 2008 zipped by at warp speed and while I accomplished quite a lot, there is always more I wish to do. :)

Each and every year I make a formal list of writing goals to achieve for the next year. I then print them out and frame them so I can keep them front and center throughout the year. In 2008, I accomplished 11 out of 13. Not too bad.
I always do 13 goals each year. It's called a baker's dozen. And 13 has always been a lucky number for me.

As per the usual, I have 13 writing goals for 2009.
Do you have goals writing or otherwise for this year?
If not writing goals, do you have "other" goals you'd like to accomplish?
Feel free to share. :)

And now on a completely different note...

Tonight, for my New Year's Eve celebration, I'm making a pitcher of Sangria made possible by my good friend Wendi Darlin. She obviously loves me because Sangria is one of my very favorite beverages.


I'd like to make a cyber toast to everyone reading. May you have a fantastic 2009 filled with joy, good fortune, good health and happiness. :)
Happy New Year!
