Summer Resolutions
Posted by Lisa
On this lovely Memorial Day Monday, it's an ideal time to make Summer Resolutions. I know I need to impose some structure on these three upcoming hot and hazy months.
Maybe looking at my resolutions will help you draft yours. Here they are:
My Resolutions:
1- Schedule writing time for writing each day.
2- Sit down with hubby and schedule longer writing sessions on one weekend day each and every weekend.
3- Finish revising YA novel and send it to my writer's group for review by June 26 (when, incidentally, we will be presenting at 7:00 PM at Buttonwoods Books in Cohasset, MA).
4- Start researching the historical elements of my next novel on June 27 (we must simply embrace the obsessive aspects of our personalities that drive us).
5- Exercise each day (unwrap that Yoga video and get on that spin bike).
6- Accept that vacation IS vacation and don't bring laptop (but bringing a good book is encouraged).
7- Write sitting under a tree.
8- Read sitting under a tree.
9- Take a Grub Street course or seminar.
10- Continue to weekly network with writers.
Happy Summer! AND Happy Writing!

Do I have to do all ten! If I add those to my current to do list [476] .....well, I don't think I can even count that high.
Cheers
Sounds like you've got a great plan! Good luck. Now, I need to come up with my own so I don't feel like such a slacker. . .
I like the reading, and writing, under a tree...
And as for the last, the networking one, do you mind if I link to this blog? I have a blog that sometimes focuses on writing, and I have a book coming out with NAL in 2008...
