I don’t do resolutions, because I know I won’t keep them. But I do set goals at the beginning of each year. Same thing, you say? Maybe. But I perceive them differently. Resolutions, to me, aren’t something to work toward. They’re something to stop, or start, or avoid. But goals… they don’t require overnight change. [...]
I’ve spent today’s budgeted writing time working on a book chapter. SO, here’s a shot from earlier today that just made me smile. Be back tomorrow with (hopefully) a post that’s more about quality than NaBloPoMo quantity.
