It made me realise how many 'doable' things there were that I could start.<br /><br />As for the Nanowrimo novel, I did it this year and it taught me so much, not least how much you could get written when you commit to it! I aimed for 2000 words a day, a thousand in the morning and a thousand in the evening (so I could get ahead of myself in case I had to miss a day or two). <br /><br />The key to getting so much done was not editing as you go. I am doing my editing now! So even if you can't do it in November because of Thankgiving, you could still do the novel. :-) Actually I think they run another at another time of the year?<br /><br />Anyway, it is good to have you back! A very happy new year to you and your family. xSusannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581993763700327953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-9103541422884253652011-01-12T10:17:16.486-06:002011-01-12T10:17:16.486-06:00Great to have such a specific list to work with! ...Great to have such a specific list to work with!

I love this literary spin on New Year Resolutions. I can give some a shot- I bought myself Soundings for Christmas in a fit of nostalgia - it's been rehashed with the original graffitied cover and it's got all the notes I had in school poetry and all the old faves. So I'm enjoying dipping into it like a poem at bedtime! It's a do-able list!<br />I know how you feel about holidays and I only had Christmas to contend with - didn't really do Hallowe'en and New Year was a quiet stay-at-home one with water rationing putting paid to any party plans we had like last year. So hence the knitting and crochet-fest! Have a great year,hope we meet up! <br />Catherine xxxCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-74614431504939255832011-01-11T19:34:13.932-06:002011-01-11T19:34:13.932-06:00Goodness Lady, you have lofty goals...I just hope ...Goodness Lady, you have lofty goals...I just hope to take one day at a time and do the best I can do each and everyday! <br />Good Luck with all of your endeavors, AND good for you for making it to this point of the year!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795817810030681267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-65339294189520021502011-01-11T19:31:09.565-06:002011-01-11T19:31:09.565-06:00I'm glad you took the class!
