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?

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.

Marcia, you make me laugh, and you’re right I resolved it in order
to light that fire under my writers butt.
