The New Year has begun…and I have made several resolutions
involving my health. Sadly, the most important which includes my writing goals
has gone unanswered. The entire month of December came and went in a blur of
excitement and now I’ve been up to my ears in healthy foods and exercise in an
attempt to lose weight. I wish writing could be as easy as exercise. But, I had
to join the gym just so I would gain the motivation to go. Maybe that is what I
should do with writing…maybe, I need to designate a time/place to write every
day and just do it. But, my mind always draws a blank and I’m tired of having a
million half started books. I want a finished book! Something I can call my
own.
This weekend was the first weekend I visited with Jennifer
in almost a year. A year! I went from spending every day talking and bouncing
creative ideas off each other to bare minimum communication. So, my goal is to
start talking to my three writing partners again. And, I want to set up a time
at least once a week that we can all sit down and chat online. Where we can
tell each other our goals, relay our progress, and give each other the support
we need to complete our writing aspirations.
It’s going to be hard. But, nothing valuable in life was
earned from sitting on your bottom and not working for it. With that said, I’m
ready. World, it’s your turn…start holding me accountable. And that’s just it…dieting
alone is hard. Dieting alone when you have a team of support is easy. Same
difference with writing. Writing alone is hard; writing with a group is easier.
Now, it’s time for me to jump back into writing. I hope
everyone has a great day and feel free to comment or leave me advice on what
gives you motivation and what routine have you set in place to accomplish your
literary goals.
