Current projects, or my brain at work...

New Year's Resolutions
-
Write every weekday.
-
Get better at poi. No, it's not food.
-
Prioritize life: family, writing, exercise, MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS (an extremely worthwhile early literacy non-profit organization I volunteer my time and money to). Forget about housekeeping. It will go away. If the dog licks the floor, that is the same as mopping.
-
Say no more often. Say it frequently. NoNoNoNoNo!
-
Always bring a manuscript to critique group. No excuses.
-
Keep my cell phone charged.
-
Stop losing things, especially mind.
I am happy to report that I kept most of my previous resolutions, especially since I don't play computer games anymore, having regained the family minesweeper championship (123 seconds, sweet).
