Better late than never, right?
But first, an examination for how I did with my resolutions last year:
I, the guilt party, do henceforth solemnly swear to make a concerted effort to write on a steady basis.
I was doing all right until, you know, I stopped in October-ish. So this past year more has been written for just me than I think I’ve ever really done before. Not too bad. All in all, I’d give myself a B- on this one.
I will stop giving head-space to other people’s storylands and expand on my own.
Actually did a decent job this year on this one. My D&D campaign actually has back story! And my own stories are better for it, as well.
I will push my boundaries, and sometimes I will fail, but I will learn something from having gone further than I’ve ever gone before.
This year I picked up some new hobbies, including some things I swore I would NEVER EVER do. Good job, me!
I will actually get off my butt and exercise .
Sword club counts as exercise, right? I go for lots of walks (especially when working on my other resolution on developing my own stories), and even run sometimes. Exercise! Healthy living!
I will change the world, in small mysterious ways.
Uhm, maybe? I don’t even know what I meant by this one, so… probably did not succeed.
My resolutions for the new year?
1) Start and see a new project through to completion. I don’t know what it will be yet, but I’ve been itching to work on something different for a while.
2) Get better at fighting hand-to-hand/grappling
3) Figure out new and better ways to DM my ever-growing hoard.
4) Make one really awesome costume this year, instead of just talking about it like I always do.
5) Get caught up to the current timeline with the campaign summaries on this blog (this one will probably not happen).
6) Failing number five, I will at least try to post more often here. Given my current track record, this could be as often as TWO times a month.
Any of my faithful readers have any resolutions you’d care to share?
1) Start and see projects through to completion. I know I’m copying you here, but it’s a fault of mine as well. Plus my first project that I’m applying this to is the project I’m working on with you.
2) Get better at fighting hand-to-hand/grappling. I would never have included this, except that the person most likely to attack me on any given day is you. If you’re gonna be getting better, I better do so as well…
3) Regret nothing, learn from everything. I generally spend way too much time brooding over my past mistakes and letting them bring me down. This generally just leads to me repeating the same mistakes.
4) Keep on working out. I started working out and jogging again last year, but it’s been pretty sporadic. My goal for this year is to turn it into an actual routine.
5) Be less of a jerk, be more positive! This is usually done in jest. Even so, I don’t like the fact that I have been trending more and more towards this behavior lately.
