Some Resolutions for My Characters

If you are a person who makes New Year's resolutions as part of your holiday activities, then the time has come to get out that pen and paper and create some promises for yourself. Maybe you opt for the always popular option of losing those lingering ten pounds or at least just visiting the gym more often. Or, perhaps you have a specific professional ambition or desire to travel that you want to fulfill in 2011?

I spent a few minutes thinking about the characters I've introduced through my three novels and what their wishes may be in the New Year. Here are the resolutions they may hope to maintain once those new calendars are placed on the wall.

Emily Stone – Assist in the capture and arrest of at least three pedophiles with a 100-mile radius of my home. Purchase that amazing digital camera I saw advertised in all of the Christmas shopping circulars but that I never took the time to buy during the holidays.

Rick Lopez – Convince Emily to take it easy once in a while and maybe agree to a long weekend in the Caribbean with no other motive than to relax and enjoy each other's company.

Jack Davis – Join eHarmony in the hopes of finding a relationship with a woman who does not have questionable connections to a series of murders. Treat my dog to a professional cleaning and pampering once a month.

So, will you be like my featured characters and make some resolutions for 2011? Whether you are a person who writes a specific list of goals or someone who thinks this formal practice is just likely to lead to disappointment by mid-February, there is something about the start of a new year that offers a fresh start and great possibilities.

Here's wishing you a great start to 2011!!
