Resolutions

By Mike Jastrzebski

With 2014 only two days away I decided that it was time to write out a few resolutions. Of course the problems with resolutions is that they are easier to write out than to carry out, so I decided to choose mine carefully and to split them between my two passions in life–writing and cruising.

On the writing front the number one item on my list is to finish the re-write of my next Wes Darling Mystery, Stranded Naked Blues. I’ve had the first draft completed for eight months now and I’ve just been picking at it a little here and a little there. It’s time to settle down and get it done.

I also need to get back to work on my YA urban fantasy series tentatively titled, The Believers. I’m shooting for a three book series and have two books in the series partially completed.

My third and final resolution is to get away from the dock and back out cruising. I’ve been busy installing a water maker, had new rigging put on the boat and just ordered a new auto pilot. There’s only one more major job to complete before we can leave and that’s the bottom job. I know I have some blistering and I’m afraid that I may need to have the bottom peeled before I can paint so I can’t set an exact date, but ASAP sounds good to me. I really miss hanging on the hook and moving about.

How about you readers out there? Anyone want to list one or two of their own resolutions? I’d love to read what others are planning for the New Year.
