Kelly Gibbons, artist and writer, about me

Friday, January 02, 2004

I sat down several times yesterday and tried to write something profound for the new year. Nothing seemed right.

I am not into resolutions. Saying "this year I will..." is not for me. If I don't accomplish what I say I will then I feel like a failure. That's too much pressure for me. I already have enough of that, thanks.

I did find a great post at penelopeillustration.com. Penelope suggests writing what you expect to happen during the year. This I can handle. It is not as risky as saying "I will" because expectations can change. She also said that writing down what you want gets the ball rolling. I totally agree with this, and have experienced it first hand after reading the book Write it Down, Make it Happen Knowing What You Want-- and Getting It! by Henriette Anne Klauser. So this year I am expecting some great things to happen. I'll write it down, and we'll see what happens.

This year I expect to...
...continue working at home.
...make many new contacts and find at least 5 more places to consistently send articles to.
...have at least 2 articles a month published.
...have one of my children's book published.
...write four more stories for the characters my artist friend created.
...get back into my exercise routine.
...start and continually work on a novel.
...learn more about html.

I also expect to add to and change this list as I see fit. This was much better than making resolutions.
