‘Tis The Season to Make Resolutions

2013Here are my New Year’s Resolutions. Don’t forget to tell me yours in the comments!

  1. READ at least 1 book per week. I have a massive “To-Read” list that includes barely any 2013 releases, so I may have to make some swaps. Anyone who’s interested in seeing the list…let me know in the comments! I believe the lovely Claire Donnelly has the same plan.
  2. Go to YOGA at least once a week. Twice if I can manage it. Juliana Brandt and I are on this train together. Join us!
  3. Find a new JOB that *requires* me to use the skills I went to school to learn. ie writing/research/communication/etc.
  4. Revise SIGHTLESS and begin querying in February/March. Which beings me to my next resolution…
  5. Find an AGENT that is as excited about kidlit as I am! I’ve left this to #5, but it’s really one of the most important resolutions on here. I want an agent so badly that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. No joke.
  6. BLOG more. I like talking to you guys. And I owe you some apartment photos.
  7. WRITE my new Middle Grade novel, tentatively entitled DIVE. I’m really excited about this project. It’s going to have a male main character and will feature some sweet cliff diving! Think Island of the Blue Dolphins meets Avatar.
  8. A male hormone, testosterone controls several different body viagra 50 mg processes. Sleep troubles: Your bitter experience of sleepless nights can contribute to ED- You may wonder knowing that sleepless nights can cause problem maintaining erections during an intercourse activity. viagra canadian The first thing that you should do is to have a look at the free viagra tablets ingredients.

  9. TRAVEL to New York. Do I need a reason?
  10. COOK something new once a week. This is going to be hard to stick to, but I *really* want to up my game. How else am I going to land myself a husband?!?!?!?!
  11. Volunteer. I’m thinking either a homeless shelter or with animals. Anybody with great resources for volunteer work in LA…let me know!

What are YOUR resolutions for 2013?

Thanks for reading.

    volunteermatch.org can help you find a place with the kind of volunteering you want. And I will totally do yoga with you. And go to NYC with you.

    My whole life is resolutions, since I’m starting a new one. Fix up the house, get an agent, get steady acting work in a new city, cut my toenails with a respectable frequency, do a backflip, juggle 5 balls, get better at dancing, start a blog etc etc

  2. Oh, those are GREAT resolutions! I will keep my fingers crossed for you on #5 🙂

    Ohhhh! Good resolutions! Are you using Goodreads for your reading goal?

    I’d love to go to Yoga but it’s way too expensive over here… I’m trying to get a paid internship in July, but apart from that I’m sticking with my day job while interning. There’s just no publishing work in Leeds, it’s all in London. I really wish I could head to NYC… if I could afford to go that’d totally be on my list too.Maybe 2014 will be my year of travel.

  5. Wow, you have a serious list! Awesome goals though. You’ve already read mine at http://www.kelleyharveywrites.blogspot.com … about #7, please tell me this means aliens… I LURVE aliens. There are aliens in my book; I need more great company once I get on the shelves which will happen when I conquer my own #5 (which is actually position #1 for me) 😉 Great post.
