1: Keep up with daily blog posts, even if it’s just a check-in.
2: Daily word goals for SWRPG novel and personal novel.
3: Keep self at low-key energy and not allow stress to control the day.
I wish I could hold myself to a loftier new year resolution, folks, but after all these years, I’ve learned the wisdom surrounding the concept of resolutions: they’re not for big and life-changing struggles.
In the past, I would’ve said “I’ll get my book published this year!” and would genuinely strive to accomplish that goal. I’d also suffer burnout and depression at the fact that the story I wanted to publish was getting away from me, because I was focused on ‘finishing’ the story, not ‘writing’ it.
This time, I just want to write those stories. If they are finished before the year is out and I can get them published, I’ll figure out what to do. Until then, I just want to enjoy the story that’s in my head. I have other, more stressful things to handle in the coming months, so adding such a lofty goal seems…counterproductive.
The daily blog post goal is doable, I know. I’ve done it before; I just kept losing my way on maintaining it. This time around, I’ll work to actively make a posting, even if it’s like it’s stated above and I’m just checking in.
Kind of like today, where I will show off an accomplishment: I made bread!
My first baking attempt that didn’t ruin the dish.
