Let’s jump right into my New Year’s resolutions
for 2017!
1) Get diverse! Though I’m proud of my nine releases in
2016, I need to increase the variety. I plan on fewer upcoming series, leaving
my schedule open for a wider range of writing.
2) Don’t forget the lesser pen names! Dakota’s books don’t
pay the bills, but the series needs to be finished. I also want to redo the old
Angela books and republish them one day. To do that, I need to remember Bijou
isn’t the only voice in my head desperate to be heard.
3) Get in better shape! I’m too old to pretend I’ll run
a marathon or lose a ton of weight or whatever grand dream I might have latched
onto when I was younger. Yet I’d like to get healthier and the only exercise I
enjoy is walking. So I bought a treadmill for New Year’s! My favorite activities
involve watching TV or reading while a fan blows on me. Yep, I’ve found the
perfect exercise which means I don’t really have any excuses this year.
4) Stop letting assholes annoy me! People are different.
Some of them choose to be assholes or perhaps they’re assholes on accident.
Either way, they’ll never change their loser ways. So I can either get riled up
about them pissing me off or I can ignore their antics and choose to be happy. It’s
up to me to be smarter about how I use my time.
5) Watch more Korean cinema! Last year, I watched more foreign flicks and discovered the thriving Korean market. Their
horror movies and thrillers haven’t disappointed, and I’d like to remember to
add at least one new film a month to my movie nights with Jack.
I consider my resolutions reasonable, meaning I
might actually accomplish them all. I hope everyone else achieves their goals
in 2017 too!
