My Resolutions for the Second Half of This Year

Happy Belated New Year!

 I feel like June is a great time to dig out the dusty resolutions and re-evaluate them. So for me, there’s a few on the list that I’ve long since forgotten. For one, this story I promised myself I’d get published this year, I’m ready to move onto other things for a while. Well, I got too deep in the editing and revising weeds and lost sight of whether or not the story was any good so I need a healthy step backwards. 

Then I’m in need of some exercise which also means I’m in need of some better walking shoes. I’m thinking about these New Balance shoes or these Naturalizer shoes. 

I kind of accomplished an unintentional resolution! I refamiliarized myself with some of the books in my bookshelf. I haven’t read so many in so long that I felt like I fell in love with so many old favorites again. I kept saying to myself, “I forgot that book! Ooh! Ahhh! I forgot THAT one! Oooh! Ahh!” So I re-read a huge amount. That was pretty awesome! Now I have plucked out the ones that I should probably donate or try to sell.  And that is a resolution for part two of 2016.

My blog. Oh how I’ve neglected the blogging community I once enjoyed so much. I don’t really know where to begin to resolve anything there, but maybe starting with one normal post a week. Today I knocked out a couple, that does make me feel better about things. I once read that a writing blog can do more harm than good for a writer. See, once you get to talking about writing than it can feel more fun to talk about writing than to write. Well, I’m not sure I agree with that anymore so I’m going to see if I can pick up the steam on this and talk about the writing I’m not doing enough of with the community I’ve lost sight of. I hate that I ended with a preposition by the way.

Have you thought about what your resolutions were this year? What were they? Did you accomplish them at all?
