Resolutions

I am constantly resolving to do things. In fact, just five minutes ago I resolved to ignore the peanut butter cups that were calling to me from the pantry.  Sadly, Reese's resolved to make me eat them. Long story short – Reese's resolutions mean a hell of a lot more than mine!

I do have a couple resolutions I am confident I can keep, however.

I resolve to be a better father. I've been selfish with my time – especially related to the effort I put into writing and promoting my writing. My kids are still at an age where they think I'm cool and want to spend time with me – I need to take advantage of it before they learn just how uncool I really am.
I resolve to write something outside of the horror/mystery genre. Don't get me wrong I like the genre and if sales of Asylum Lake are any indication I have a modicum of skill at it.  I just really feel I have a story in me that is more personal, real, and tragic. I just don't know if I have the courage to write it.
I resolve to once and for all decide if my problem with God is my lack of belief in him or my fear that he doesn't believe in me.

I think that about covers it. I'm sure I will resolve to do other things (most of which will be horrible failures), but these are definitely the top three. Wish me luck. I'll keep you up to date on my progress.

p.s. I forgot one. I also resolve to totally blow your minds with Grave Undertakings and my deeply disturbing descriptions of the dark deeds of Dr. Wesley Clovis.
