One item was just added to mine that wasn't expected (a 5-10k short story).

If we don't treat it as a business (and say we're going to "work"), no one will. We need to get in that mindset. I know I do.<br /><br />Love your reading resolution. I should have thought of that! I need to read more, too. I LOVE to read.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685726789687443442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744229911868864730.post-51918898457283136522015-01-05T10:40:48.395-06:002015-01-05T10:40:48.395-06:00This is an ambitious list, Beth!

I know you saw my 2015 list, so you know I may have overreached a bit! I think it all boils down to time management for me.

I also want to read more books so my minimum will be two a month.Last year I found I was writing so much I felt guilty if I stopped to read.

The trouble with writing is we are also very busy people. Life loves sucking those creative juices right out of our head. I sometimes imagine a straw sticking out of my brain.
