I resolve not to….

I’m starting my first post of 2009 shamelessly copying an idea from Jenny Cruise a writer whose blog I follow.  Her resolve list for 2009 is everything I also do not want to do or be.  You can read her list here

 I have some additions to her “I resolve not to”… do in 2009

-  not to let unimportant things bother me.

- not to spend so much time surfing the net under the guise of research for my writing, or for the markets I’m going to send my writing to.

- not let someone else’s problems become my own distraction.

- not tell people anymore that I’m a writer until I have pushed myself forward and found  an agent for my novel. 

- not to think the few things I’ve had published don’t count.  They do count.

- not to feel guilty about anything, believe that I’m doing my best. 

 

…So how about it, do you have anything your resolve not to do this year?

  1. I resolve to bite my tongue when someone who has been published says she won’t say she is a writer until she has pushed herself forward and found an agent for her novel. I will only resolve that because I am second guessing that she feels it will be a catalyst, as in light a fire under her. : )

    If I did resolutions, I would have to include most of yours in my list, too, so to make it easy on myself, I’ll just resolve to put more effort into doing what I know I should be doing at the moment.
