Commitment

Here dawns a new year, filled with new commitments, new resolutions, new hopes and dreams, new chances.  I haven't so much made resolutions for the new year but have made new commitments to myself.  I've kept my goals general but with more specific steps..."write more" but specifically with the intention to "write at least 15 minutes a day;" "improve my marketing skills," but specifically with the intention to "research new markets," "explore the better use of social media," "create a better author visit program;" and "read more" but specifically "read at least 10 PBs a month," "read something for fun every day," etc.  You get the idea! We shall see how it goes, and I will be reporting in along the way.

I saw a picture on FB today that re-affirmed my commitment to making better changes and adjustments in my life to better serve my writing. 

Isn't this a great reminder to forge ahead in life, whether it is in one's writing or any other life situation.  We have the control to commit, to work hard and to keep striving for a better end, whatever that may be.  This might just be my new mantra for 2016:)

What are your goals, hopes, dreams, commitments (whatever term you use) for 2016? I'd love to hear them!

    That's a lot of thing to juggle, mentally speaking. Not sure I could keep up, but if you have the energy for it, way to be.

      It is indeed, I quite agree which means some will take precedence and others will happen far less often, I imagine! Thanks for stopping by, Crystal!

    A great quote. I don't make resolutions because they only last a week at most. I do set goals with tentative dates. I have several stories I hope to finish and also to relax more. Your list is quite impressive. Best of luck to you. Should be a fun and interesting year.
