My 2009 resolutions for:
Writing:
- I will set aside time to write on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
- I will write more in longhand to get the benefits of the creative process unique to a hand moving across paper.
- I will do more timed writing exercises for the same reason.
- I will always have one story in submission, and one in revision.
- I will finish all the stories that are unfinished, or in the middle of drafts.
- I will back up all of my work with the dependability of Rain Man.
Reading
- I will subscribe to some of the magazines I submit to.
- I will read the magazines I submit to.
- I will continue to mix my reading list with contemporary works, banned novels and recommended short stories.
- I will seek out work that is not in my usual reading list, including nonfiction, experimental and - possibly - poetry.
Professional
- I will attend AWP (blizzard or not) and introduce myself to agents, editors and other writers.
- I will expand my presence on the net, including learning html
- I will learn more about/practice writing book reviews
It's up to you invisible people to keep me honest on this, you hear?
