Resolutions? Um, what?
Posted in Romance on December 31st, 2008 by Cynthia Eden
I haven’t made my new year’s resolutions yet. Nope. Haven’t done it. Haven’t even really thought about them.
Seriously, this isn’t like me. Normally, I’d have a list of about ten items (or more) going by now. But the last week has been crazy busy (I know you can all relate) and I’m currently scrambling to get promotional materials designed so I haven’t been thinking enough about my resolutions. I’ve got to have some. I always have resolutions. I mean, come on, sure, I’ll break the resolutions within a month, but I need that month!
So, since I don’t have resolutions to post, I thought I’d do a year wrap-up with my writing.
In 2008, I wrote:
One novella
Three novels
2 Partials
And a pear tree…okay, no, that was lame, sorry!
One of the partials (3 chapters of an unfinished manuscript), I did for fun, but the other–well, I want to to finish it very soon.
So let me just go ahead and say what I want to write in 2009. Hey–these are my writing resolutions! Sweet!
1. Four novels. I can do this. I know I can.
2. One novella. I love writing novellas, especially after I’ve written a 90,000+ page manuscript. It is such a nice change of pace for me.
Since Santa–um, okay, not Santa but my mom–gave me an Alpha Smart, I’m hoping to see my productivity kick up in 2009. I’m going to start typing and see how far I can get in two hours time. No Internet breaks. No email surfing. Just typing. Let’s see what happens.
So, at least I now have writing resolutions for 2009. I’m on the right track!
What about you? What are your resolutions for 2009?
I hope you all have a safe and happy new year’s celebration. I’ll be heading out with my hubby and some friends. We’re going to see the moon pie drop. Oh, yeah, I said moon pie. Dropping. It’s a GIANT moon pie. I’ll have more details about that–and probably some pics, too–later.
Happy New Year!!
