New Year’s Resolutions

I missed it when the clock struck midnight. Wasn’t paying any attention; missed the countdown to zero. Oops.

But today, the morning after the quiet celebration, I refuse to miss out on the somewhat obligatory listing out of my New Year’s resolutions. I’ve never made it through an entire year successfully (who has?), but perhaps 2013 will be a year of more than one change.

So, here it is, in all it’s (non)glory:

1. I resolve to write every day. Even if it’s bad. Even if it’s not a lot to put on a page. I constantly call myself a ‘writer,’ but I rarely ever finish what I start. I leave it half-formed and let it sit and stale in the air for a while. So I resolve to write, and I resolve to finish what I write so I can actually call myself a writer one of these days.
2. On that note, I resolve to read. The past few years have left me with little energy to read the kinds of books I want to read. Instead, I’ve exhausted myself on books I have to read. Now that I have the time, I resolve to take up the neglected books that have been sitting on my “To Read” bookshelf for so long.
3. I resolve to travel. Somewhere, anywhere. I want to save some of my money and go somewhere I’ve never been before.

Simple enough resolutions, I think? Certainly do-able.
