Ok, ok...how about some 2014 Resolutions. And, how about we make them all, in someway, about books and/or at least the written word?

I'm kind of shit at keeping resolutions. No, wait. That's the wrong end of the stick. I'm shit at making resolutions, but I'm probably 60/40 at keeping them, which seems better than average. Hmm, I've only actually found two posts on my blogs about them*, one of which was about only keeping legal music on my system [which I have mostly done, a few bootlegs remain], and one of which had a dozen resolutions, of which I may have kept about 60% [as above] though I'm not quite in the mood to do a life tally and to find out how true that number is.

This year, I figure I'll set out five resolutions. Arbitrarily. Without much in the way of elaboration (to give myself wiggle room), here we go.

• Write in this blog 15+ times a month, or about every other day.
• Read 125 books by Goodreads standards**, which may be more or less by my standards***, but there you go.
• Get published.

• Read wider and deeper, be challenged by the books.
• Convert at least one work of fiction I love into another medium.

There, that sounds fun, right? Does to me. How about you, what you got on your docket?

* I remember, in the middle of my depressed years, making a resolution of "I will not walk around in circles", as a purposeful self-mocking sentiment, and then I spent the whole year rehashing old injuries. Welcome to Doug-in-his-annoying-20s.

*** As of the writing of this blog post, that link does not exist. I will make it after publishing this blog post, so hopefully it won't be too long down the road.
