Done and Done.

So today's writerly ways is dedicated to writing resolutions. For me they are more of a loose goal. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself and be disappointed and depressed if I don't make it. I don't need that. No one does. On the other hand having a few goals keeps me on track. Non-writing ones would include the perpetual lose weight and stop freaking wasting food (especially that last one) and to clean my damn house.

Writing resolutions are a) OMG edit and try to find an agent for Splinters of Silver and Cold Iron (for like the 10th year of saying this and never doing it)
b) FINISH a novel. I don't care which one. Finish it.
c) finish my novella sequel
d) edit and submit These Haunted Hills
e) research for the 1920s monster hunters. (thanks to Betty for the help with this!)

So what are your writing resolutions if you have them?

Also speaking of my 1920's monster hunters, I forgot to share the New Year's Eve kiss story. You can find it here. I'd love to know what you think of it.
