What I'm Going To Do

Here's what I'm going to do in 2008:

(Yoda:  There is no try!  Only do, or do not, there is!)

(Yes, okay, I am taking my inspiration from the words of a little green guy with funny ears who was actually a muppet voiced by the same guy who did Miss Piggy.  So what?  There's so little wisdom in this world of ours, ya gotta take it where you find it!)

So HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, IN 2008!!!!!

- Get something published (no matter how small), for actual money (no matter how paltry), in some publicly-distributed magazine (no matter how obscure).

- Write 15 hours a week -- fiction, not blogging.  Blogging will have to be after that commitment is met.

- Write a minimum of 3500 new words a week during those 15 hours of work -- including the time spent on research and learning the craft.

- Reach my target weight & size

- Dispose of all clothing larger than that size -- gone from my home, nevermore to be seen again on my person!

- Walk a half-marathon

- Walk across the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day
