I’m becoming an old man: I fell asleep, missing the ball drop, and woke after 3 AM… in the new year.
Many folks will make resolutions for the year. I’m not one of them.
Folks Always Fail Them
Instead, I do things differently, and get a lot of stuff done as a result:
I Make Goals
This year will be no different. Some goals are obvious. some not as much:

- Update this blog more. I’ve written a lot on Medium in 2018, but not a lot on this blog. I need to fix that in 2019.
- More movement on my novel. I finished my first draft in early 2014. I have been using Ninja Writing to write revisions (more on that in another post). I’m into Act Two now.
- Justify my award. In 2009 I won an Aurora Award for a newsletter. I stopped in 2012. I’ve been writing my next issue for a long time. I hope to publish it soon.
I’ll stop my list there. We’ll see how well I do by 2020.
