Sorta-resolutions...
Jan. 1st, 2010 08:16 pmLooking over the past year and seeing some of the other posts, I realize that while when I was younger I read NONSTOP (I averaged one book per day for many years), these days I hardly read anything at all (aside from Usenet, LJ, things like that). I think I read five books this year outside of "stuff for work". So I will try to read more books this year.
I finished out the year weighing in at 216.8 pounds. My high had been ~230, my low about 206, I think. So I have kept more than 10 pounds off from my starting point, despite a rebound that began once things really started getting hairy around here with health, etc. So I will endeavor to do at least as well this year, beginning 2011 at 205 pounds or less.
I have started a website -- with the help of a number of other people -- for Grand Central Arena and my other books. I will endeavor to increase the material on the website and to push forward with as many reasonable methods for gaining more publicity for my novels as I can. I will take this seriously as a second career. I will finish at least two more novels this year, preferably three.
I will try to watch our finances more closely and improve our financial position.

Date: 2010-01-02 04:09 am (UTC)what, your not that over weight. I plan on losing oodles which I put on when I quit smoking. But, I promise you, I will never ever go to 150 again. If I would have gotten the flu, I think I would have died. no fun. I think 200 or so is about right for my frame. but, if I had to choose, bigger feels much much better.
Reading? wow, I also used to read a couple of books a week. now......I don't think I even have plans to read a new book this year. yet.
