Hope everybody had a good Christmas. We have been besieged in the nicest possible way by all the family over the past few days, and Stevie has not managed to watch even one TV programme apart from The Snowman, which we put on for our 3 year old grandson who was becoming rather overwhelmed with all the festivities.
Now that 2016 is looming ever closer, it’s that time where we think about New Year resolutions. I like to decide on goals that are attainable and which I have an outside chance of accomplishing, rather than promise myself to drop 3 dress sizes and complete the London Marathon. However, I do like to throw in a personal challenge along the way.
Here below then are four resolutions that Stevie would like to carry out in 2016. The last one is definitely a challenge, but hey, ho, nothing ventured, nothing gained…..
1. To give more support to other authors, by way of interviews, book promotions etc.
2. To publish more blogs than in 2015, and maybe in doing so, find interesting sites to link up with via the excellent InLinkz service (thanks Haddon Musings for my first invite!).
3. To have most, if not all, of my books in audio form by the end of the year.
4. To have my most popular books translated into one or two languages.
What are your New Year resolutions? Do you think they’ll be accomplished?

NY resolution is to be more organised. I used to be very good at time management, but 2015 was a real miasma. I couldn’t put my mind to anything other than writing, which is useless without a plan to promote any of it.
But the realist tells me it won’t happen. Good luck with your own plans though.

Thanks. I find I’m networking so much now that there’s hardly any time for writing. I think I’ll have to save one day for writing only, otherwise I’ll never publish anything else.

Finding that balance is key and probably where I’m going wrong. By the time I’ve finished writing I don’t feel like making the time for networking. Big mistake.

Glad you had such a great family time Stevie! 😀
My perennial NY resolution is NOT to make them at all! But I’m hoping that I will get 2 solo books out in 2016, one of which will be the first of a series that is close to my heart – I think this one’s doable 🙂

Happy New Year to you too Ellen. Keep breathing for sure! Dropping a dress size is a big achievement too.

Brave very brave, your resolutions seem huge to me but then I am not you. Good luck with them all.
Personally
I want to drop a dress size to be healthy.,
finish my manuscript fit for purpose (on second draft)
keep writing
keep blogging
and Breathe.
As long as I still do the last one I will achieve the others.
Happy new year! 😇
