Resolutions 2013!!
Dec. 31st, 2012 06:28 pmHey, we're still here!
Guess that means I should resolve to do something. But first, let's see how I did with my resolution for 2012, that being making a dent in my TBR pile, and also not buying any more books before doing so.
Here's the TBR pile as it stood when I first posted it. The struck-through books are the ones I managed to get to. Oh, and the pile itself is now 86 deep. (I'll update the list itself later.)
So yeah, I failed miserably. I read plenty, but made a lot of additions and checked out lots of things from the library.
Anyway, what do I want to do this year?
Well, I'm staring the MFA program in two weeks, which I'm looking forward to with equal marks and excitement and abject terror, and both my writing output and submitting of things has increased exponentially since the year I resolved to "submit something goddammit". All these are good things, but since they've become regular occurrences I'm not worried about doing anything resolution-wise with them.
One thing I do want to do, however, is minimize the amount of Stuff taking up space in my living quarters. Mainly, old clothes that either don't fit anymore or don't suit my style anymore, and old books that, even if they're great, I don't really need in my collection or don't plan to read again.
So my resolution is to Donate Stuff. That'll work, won't it?
Wish me luck, and may everyone have an awesome 2013! Congratulations on making it through another fauxpocalypse.
