I've never really been big on New Year's resolutions, but I see this time as a great way to "clear the slate" and hope for bigger and better things in the year to come.
What sorts of New Year's resolutions have you made in the past, if any? What ones have you kept, didn't keep, and wish you made that you didn't?
Last year I had hoped to get out the sequel of Blood of the Dark Moon, but due to going out of print it was delayed. I nonetheless picked up two new contracts, not including the re-release of Blood of the Dark Moon--and one of those contracts is in the same series! Blood and Mint Chocolates has been a surprisingly popular book in the Dark Moon series, and I have no regrets as an author for last year. I think that I more than made up for the first book going out of print during the last four months of 2008!
It's been a good year. I didn't get everything that I wanted, but I have to say that in some ways, I got better. I hope for more of the same and then some for 2009.
What say you all? What are you looking forward to this year? What would you like to see differently? If you could make a wish for yourself and have it come true for this year, what would it be?
Love & Magic,

My resolution/goal is to write every day and hopefully get a bunch of prompts/ideas/WIPs completed.
I hear ya there! I must have about 10 WIPs at the moment. Eep!
I'm like a little kid. Anything bright, shiny, noisy, or seemingly more interesting than what I am working on gets me off track. Sigh.
This year I'm resolving not to let myself get sidetracked so often. Ask me in a few weeks how that's working out for me...
I hear ya on the distractions thing. Working on that myself....
I'm going to try to make my characters suffer more this year. I seem to get to the black moment and I hate to write it.
But for a list of my other resolutions you can check them out on my blog. I made a list.
I have made and broke so many New Years resolutions(moslty to lose weight, lol), that I resolved to never to do that again.
Until this year.
I resolved to polish and send out as many manuscripts as I can.
In the last two years I wrote seven, and I hope to sell at least one this year.
