As I’m sure you all remember, December 27th is the day of the New Year’s Resolutions. So let’s check out last year’s and make some new ones, eh?

A review of the 2022 resolutions:

• ACCOMPLISHED: The blogs. They’re still being written daily, but they’re currently sitting in a 236-page Word document instead of being posted on WordPress. Because I’m lazy as all hell.
• ACCOMPLISHED: Walk at least…let’s do 5,000, why not. You’ll get a more in-depth review of this on January 1st, but it has been accomplished!
• ACCOMPLISHED: Run three times weekly whenever possible. Yup! I only missed this when absolutely necessary.
• FAILED: Complete a new draft of my 2020 NaNoWriMo. I worked on this a little bit, but I was way too busy to do a completely new draft this year.
• FAILED: Win NaNoWriMo 2022. Didn’t even do it this year. I’m a loser!
• FAILED: Run a marathon. I’m still not there yet. But I’m working on it!
• ACCOMPLISHED: Continue to get blogs in a physical format. It’s a slow slog, but it’s happening!
• FAILED: I MUST WORK OUT MY ARMS! APPARENTLY NOT!

Peh. Let’s see if we can do better in 2023 with the following:

• Blog daily. As always.
• Post all backlogged blogs. It’s getting out of hand, yo!
• Walk/run 5,000+ miles. This is becoming pretty standard, too.
• Run a marathon. The fact that I’m actually training for one is a good start, I think
• Complete another complete draft of my 2020 NaNoWriMo. This is, of course, a carry-over from this year. But I need to do it.
• Write more in general. I’m not saying I’ll do NaNoWriMo 2023 because who knows how busy the fall will be, but I should be writing more. That’s the only way you get better at it, after all.
• Draw. That’s it. That’s the resolution.

ONWARD!
