It's the first of January, upon which tradition dictates that I write a post about the old year and what I think of it, and the new year and what I hope for it.
People I care about seem split about equally as to whether 2007 was the most terrible year ever, or their most wonderful one. For me, it's the year when nothing much happened. It must be my Protestant work ethic coming out, because I am rather ashamed to say this. But equally, having a day in which my biggest achievement was a new badge in Kongregate does not make me happy. There were too many days like this.
In 2008, therefore, I will get off my fat arse and do more stuff. Specifically:
- Work. There is a business plan (*faints*). I will do what it says.
- I will spend 15 minutes every day organising the bead shed. I estimate that that will mean that by the end of January, it will be organised, at which point I will move onto the rest of the house.
- I will read more. Honestly, I can't have read more than a dozen new books in 2007. I miss it. I actually miss having two hours a day on the tube to do nothing but read (though that *is* the only thing still that I miss about London). I will make at least one hour per day to read: I will do this by watching less crap television, and spending less time on internet forums.
- I will write more. I used to be able to write, and that I can't any more distresses me more than I can say. I used to look forward to blogging: now even TameBay feels like a chore more often than it should, and I have almost nothing to say about my life elsewhere. Therefore:
- I will blog here daily as well as TB. This is good exercise.
- I will finish the first draft of novel I started for NaNoWriMo.
- I will write and submit a novel to Black Lace.
There is other stuff: the house needs sorting, and the garden needs making, but I think the above should do for now.Labels: 2008 |
