Writing Resolutions

1. Double the number of words written for my novel. (Currently about 40K words. Last year I wrote only 22K. That would get me about 2/3 the way through, so I could finish it in 2005.)

2. Write six new short stories. (Last year I wrote four.)

3. Write at least 13 lines of fiction every day, even if it’s not part of a short story or the novel. (Hmm. Only have two-and-a-half hours left today. I’d better get to work!)

    Does 13 lines of fiction mean 13 sentences, or 13 double spaced lines? Just wondering so I can have some perspective on this new goal of yours. Last year I had a few goals to write every day that I did off and on, but I’ve obviously had trouble sticking to it. There are so many things I HAVE to do, but basically every since I started my blog (which of course I don’t HAVE to do) I haven’t done as much writing. So it seems that if I’m to really work on my writing I should give up blogging… or something else, but there’s really not much else to give up since I already gave up most of my entertainment time (reading and watching tv) so I could work on my writing.

    What HAVE I been doing with my time??
