What’s In Store for 2013?

Another year, a bunch more resolutions? I’m not sure really. Part of me sits here and says, do I want to plan a bunch of things that I may or may not keep up with? Why is it that so many of us tend to break these New Year’s resolutions? My theory on this is that we set goals that are too far, too high or just too plain unrealistic.

For some reason this 2013 year seems very special to me. I’m starting it with a different kind of motivation than I’ve ever had.  I want to do well in my day job, I want to write, I want to be there for my family and yet the biggest difference is that I want to do all this because I want it. In summary, it is for them but it is for me too and as selfish as it can sound, I also believe that I will have a very successful year due to this new outlook.

In my day job, I’ve come to realize that I do my best by planning things out and creating a timeline I can look at. It was something an old boss suggested and at the time I honestly thought it elementary but it’s served me as a great guide in 2012. Well I’ve decided to do the same for my writing just to see how it goes. I’m sharing it with you all as well just so you can see if something like this works for you all.  If it doesn’t but you have other tools, please share them as I’m sure we can all benefit. I’d also suggest doing a larger timeline for the next 3-5 years. In the meantime,  Happy New 2013 to you all and my this be a wonderful year for your writing career!
