I thought today I would have a wander back a year and see what I wrote about for the new year last year. I still am not a big fan of making resolutions but I do like the idea of finding solutions to problems that continue to dog me. I am happy to say that I have reconnected with my writing and even managed to send a story off for publication a few weeks ago. I also entered a few writing competitions, finished the first draft of two novels, published a small book of poetry and am currently working on another flash fiction submission. This might not seem like much, especially to someone who is a writer, and well established, but for me, it’s a huge leap forward. I feel good about my writing and the direction I am moving in.
Today, I stumbled across a nice article in the Huffington Post about making resolutions .
I like the idea of making a list of 100 things you want to do in the next year. Not a to do list but an “I’d like to do” list. Small things, big things, doesn’t matter, but a list of things that you would like to happen, arrive in your life at some point in the next 365 days. It makes me think. What would I like? It’s actually a question I don’t often ask myself. I usually ask what would they like (my daughters, my boyfriend, my family, my friends). Luckily, I have a few days left to write down 100 things.. maybe it will be more than 100, who knows. I’ll check back when I have my list together and see what came up for me.
The first thing on my list right now though is to find a pair of socks. The temperature dropped dramatically in the past 24 hours and I can no longer go around in just bare feet… boo.

Love the idea of a “like to do” list
