Ok, so it's the new year. What does that mean to me? To be honest. Not a whole lot. I made my resolution a few months ago. I am going to sit down and write. I have decided that writing should not be a reward for accomplishing the day to day things I have to. I used to say to myself, "If I get the laundry done now, I can devote a few hours to writing." Not anymore. Now it is I'll do an hour of writing and then do the laundry. It is amazing how much I get done, both writing and around the house. So my advice to all you writers or artists or anyone who has a passion is to make time to do what you love and let the rest be for everything else.
I am in the process of writing another book. I finished Beauty and the Beast. It is sitting aside right now. I am giving it some time to settle. I'll go back and edit it and then get my confidence in it built up and go back to the agent search yet again. So wish me luck, though I am pretty proud of it. At least right now.

Write brain exercise day two
I got a head start on today's excercise. Given a lined area I had to create a passage around already typed in letters - they are underlined below. Also the passage had to begin: New Year's resolutions make me...
...nervous. They close in around one like an elevator to a claustrophobic. The expectation to fail and the desire to succeed wear down your ego and excitement for life. Lose weight; stop smoking; eat better. All are superficial goals. No one ever even hopes to survive such rediculous hop. Look deeper. If new year's resolutions are to succeed they need to be real. Read more books; call home more often. The simple things may seem easy but the tradional outlandish resolutions are set up for failure. For many true thought leads to enlighted resolutions. Find a new job; go back to school; complete a novel. All are extrememe goals but are attainable if the movivation is present. No one but the resolution setter can make it succeed. It is not nessary for it to be New Year's to create a resolution. Don't wait for a new beginning; make it yourself.
