Resolutions that are not written are forgotten, so I’m noting mine here.
- Don’t die before publishing your story.
- Become a published author.
- Start writing your second novel before your first one is out.
- Write more and write better.
- Bury grandmother.
- Take grandfather to live with you and mother. Look after him well.
- Read at least 60 books.
- Improve your body with daily exercise. (Presently I am incapable of doing a push-up.)
- Read self-improvement books.
- Look people in the eye when you speak to them.
- Shave head bald.
- Be kinder to mother.
- Woo the girl with inky hair.
- Buy a dog or a black cat that will become your best friend (And name it Napoleon, in honor of the great French general).
- Continue updating and improving your blog, writing shorter, more concise posts and at least two 50-word stories a week.
Friends, what are you resolved to do in 2013?

I would be interested to see photo proof of when you accomplish your resolution to shave your head hah!
But I shall wear a hat J.A.
I vote for the black cat!! : )
When I will get it I shall post pictures.
Haha, sorry…some of that made me laugh. I think you should buy a black cat, name it Napoleon, and present it as a gift to the inky haired woman…but only after you’ve shaved your hair and been able to do at least one push-up. 🙂
I like the sound of that Carol. I’ve already started doing ‘halfway’ push-ups today.
🙂
Just a note from a dermatological aspect.. If you shave your head and continue your hat wearing, be sure to shampoo with a salicylic acid shampoo. Unsightly bumps shall occur if you don’t, and if some point the inky haired girl removes your hat, well, we don’t want it to be all pimply.
Just a helpful hint 😀
That’s great advice. I shall purchase the kind of shampoo you recommend!
Thanks miss boots!
I’m growing my hair back out in 2013. If you shave yours will the shift in balance change the earth’s orbit slightly? I’d better get a hat.
Haha!
I see plenty of bald people around here daily, so grow your hair long!
Huge Netflix whore. I don’t have anything but Netflix actually, so I guess whore is the exact opposite of what I meant, so oops! Anyway, can’t wait to watch this one. I love a lllloooonnngg film.
Yay for my new phone, which does exactly what it wants! Dreadful. Anyway, glad I could help. Just look for salicylic acid shampoo, usually would be with the dandruff type junk.
I wrote this long thing, which my phone took upon itself to post elsewhere. After I called myself a Netflix whore in the first sentence. Yay me!
Point being, I am glad for the recommendation.
Oh my!
I resolve to wear more hats.
To publish (a writers dream) I wish you well with your resolutions hatted boy.
Cheers rambling mum!
Good luck with your resolutions – may your resolve last all year.
Interesting resolutions, but yeah, we’ll need photoproofs for the head and the cat! And I hope ypu share some thoughts on self improvement thos year too 😉
I will!
I’m just going with the flow, dear Boy. A list like that would be the death of me! 🙂 But I wish you much success – in love and literature!
Dear Aunt,
I am resolved to send you a present for March 8. One that will arrive at your post office!
Curiouser and curiouser, dear Boy! I’m on the edge of my seat…
