Writing Resolutions

Here in the last week of the year, when I am sitting at work with slower-than-average meeting schedules, I often start to reminisce about the things accomplished in the past year and the things I would like to do in the year to come.

This year, I have done some interesting things, definitely, with getting poems out into space, submitting forty or fifty out at a time.  Along the poetry front, I also completed the November Poem-A-Day challenge and entered the contest, and I have written enough poems to have one scheduled (at this point) every Tuesday through March - skipping April for that poem-a-day challenge - and then one Tuesday in May.  By May, I should be able to have scheduled for most of the rest of the year I would think.

I learned some interesting things from not finishing NaNoWriMo this year, and I will say that "finish NaNoWriMo" won't make my 2011 resolutions list for the first time in a while as a result.  But I am still not sure what will.  I can't bite off more than I can chew (finishing novel revision?) or resolve things that are at least partially outside of my control (get a book deal?), so I need to find some resolutions that are workable.

Most likely I will try to submit several more poems into the submission void and keep writing more and more.  I do want to make large strides in my novel revision, so we will see how that pans out, but I am not yet committing myself to finishing it.  Beyond that, who knows.

What's in your "writing resolution" bucket for 2011?
