New Year. New Job. New Website… but still addicted to coffee…
New Year Resolutions time again…
Well, I’ve re-designed my WordPress blog to include a bit more information about what I’m doing and make it more website, than blog… now i actually have some content! Which is also why this blog is coming to you later than planned. ((As if anyone wants to know any more about you! I see nothing changes in a new year… all me me me as usual)) Calm down Brackets, and Happy New Year to you and everyone else. I hope you’ve all had a good break and are ready to tackle a new year.
New Website… I will confess that the help button was employed a few times during this process – the folk at WordPress are so helpful, and patient! I highly recommend using WordPress for your website/blog. I got stuck a few times due to not engaging my tech brain. But we got there in the end. I hope you like it…
New Year Resolutions. I know it seems the common theme to be anti-resolutions – people thinking that you’re applying pressure on yourself. Personally, I think that’s nonsense. If you want to make resolutions, then crack on; as long as you don’t make yourself miserable if you don’t achieve them. Making yourself miserable is one of the many pointless activities in life, along with ironing and dusting. ((I see you’ve already started preaching – lord, what a year this is going to be… I’ve only got one New Year’s Resolution and that’s to find another blog! And as I hear it, you’re allergic to dusters and wouldn’t know how to switch on an iron!))
I had a look back at last year’s resolutions so I could see what I have and haven’t achieved – this list is not exhaustive as my notebooks will confess; I have many lists and many ideas and I’m sure you’re already bored and don’t want to read the full list! ((Yeah save us. It’s a bit pointless adding them all when it’s only your mother that actually cares about what you do))
Here it is, cut and pasted from last year’s blog and updated in bold
Starting the year off with a few creative writing/story courses/events in Derby. I plan to attend a few more later in the year. Achieved – very usefulFinish the chapters for the book collaboration with my writing group, which should be published in July, ready for the Newark Book Festival. 12-14th July . Book was published by the skin of our teeth’s! Find it under My books…Try and increase my engagement with readers of my blog. I have increased this a little bit, but not as much as I would like. Thank you to all the people that follow and engage
