I have no actual New Year's resolutions. If there are goals that need to be set, I hope I wouldn't wait for a specific date to set them. Just start right away. I do have what I refer to as New Year's resolutions, but they are really just life guidelines.
Enhance the lives of the people I care about whenever possible.
Fight sloth (the Deadly Sin, not the adorable forest creature)
I have had the same ones for years and I see no reason to change. I continue to do pretty well on the first one, I think. Less so on #2.
One thing that does have to change is that I wrote virtually zero fiction last year. I found out how deeply entwined my writing was with my daily habits. It is entirely psychological. Nothing stops me from grabbing my notebook and sitting down and writing, but I had a certain place and certain times when I did that, and I was unable to get beyond the disruption of losing that thanks to the lockdowns. I am ashamed of this. I see it as a severe weakness. When I think about it I despair of ever finishing my current project which makes me dodge it even more. I must break this cycle.
Per current forecasts, we are facing an especially cold, and probably snowy, February. Joy. I need to head south.
