Writerly New Year Resolutions

I didn't join NaNoWriMo because I couldn't decide what book to write. I wrote a short book that could be read by my husband's junior high students so I guess I'm off the hook when it comes to my promise to write a book he could use in school. Getting it published is another matter. I'll see to that, but publication is not something I can promise.

So now I've finally decided that I'm ready to write my ballet middle-grade novel, with my daughter in mind. That is my first resolution. Probably a few pages every weekend till summer vacation, now that I'm teaching.

Another is I promise to submit to contests. I don't promise to write anything new, but I do seem to have some old stories that will do for the contests shared with me by my friend Gill. http://www.dystopianstories.com/writi...

And I promise to follow up on my submissions, something I have rarely time for, so will probably wait for summer vacation again.
That's plenty for resolutions as a writer, since I have resolutions for other aspects of my life. I will keep them--there is no try!
