I'm trying to come up with a good 2010 writing resolution.
Usually I'm too optimistic — make a big sale, finish four manuscripts, spend an hour a day marketing. I never come close to accomplishing my goals, mostly because they are out of my control or impossible to carry out.
This year I'm taking a new approach. I'm going to make my resolution something I have complete control over — my attitude. In 2010 my new motto will be:
YOU'RE NOT A WIMP! BE BRAVE!
I get so frustrated with myself when I'm hesitate to call back producers, approach new markets, or take risks with my writing. 2010 is going to be different. No room for nervousness or excuses. I've got one life to live, a limited number of manuscripts and I can write and I'm going to make the most of both.
Of course, now I'm already nervous I can't pull this off — completely defeating the purpose. I figure I've got 10 day to get in mental shape!
What's you're resolution this year?!
