Aspiring Novelists

Hello Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.  Mine was great.  I've done a lot of reflecting on my role in 2010, and I've found there is a lot of room for improvement.  Since this is the last day of the year, I decided now is the time to make some changes, to start with a clean slate in 2011.  I've made some resolutions, and this time, I plan to stick to them.  The following is a list I endeavor to accomplish this year: Attend church more often. Lose twenty pounds and excercise more. Finish my novel and query publishers. Be more optimistic.  I tend to be Eeyore at times.  I want to change this about myself.  I don't want to be Tigger or Pooh, maybe Rabbit.(: Be a better friend. Implement a family game night. Make a definitive decision about my future.   I know this seems like a lot, but I hope to accomplish each of these things by the end of 2011...
