Resolutions

I have some resolutions that are appropriate for this space. I have many resolutions, among them finishing Rosetta Stone Spanish, more weekend road trips with the kids, church more often, . . . that type of thing but there are a couple that deal with the subject matter of this blog.

First . . . I will finish Vapor Trail. It's not a bad novel, it's just super messy. So as an addendum to this resolution is the resolution of "making a ten key scenes" outline for Vapor Space and getting that sucker back on track.

Second . . . re-enlist in a writing group. As far as I can tell my writing group has defuncted itself. I was a part of an online group once that wasn't too bad. Lot of work, but still not too bad. I'll at the very least try that again.

Third  . . . I will not buy any books that are more than three bucks. This is going to be a doozey. I just thank goodness I've already bought some in the ole library I really want to read. I'll be able to parse them out throughout the year among the 2.99'ers. Jack Higgins Night of the Fox, Forsyth's The Devil's Alternative, Clavell's King Rat and Howey's Dust will keep me reading for a bit. and Morrel's Fraternity of the Stone are all already bought and ready to be read. Am I doing this to see what the competition looks like? Am I doing this to have a better appreciation of new writers? NO! I'm doing it cause I'm cheap.

Wish me luck and check in to see if I keep em all.
