Resolutions 2022

 

It’s January 1, 2022, and I guess it’s that time everyone, well, maybe not me, per se, sit down and write their resolutions for the year. Or the things they are really not going to do. Most people do and most people don’t.

I, on the other hand, don’t write resolutions; I just try to do whatever is needed for the year or forever. However… I am going to write something out and try to stick with it for the year and as long as needed. Meaning, finish my novel and the three others that I planned (in my head), fleshed out over the last two year. The sad thing, I never put any of it on paper (computer).

So, here they be… I started writing my novel, MAROONED, in 2018, well; I finished it then, too. But, I haven’t edited it as of today. The first thing I will do.

2. In the past two years I came up with part II of the Marooned story, Revenge. I started writing it in November of 2019 and had written 17,000+ words. I then kind, of gave up. I did manage to write a list of characters and story line. I will finish it this year; I know where, what direction the story goes.

3. Also, during this downtime, I came up with another story, or part III to my Marooned story. I have the title written down somewhere, maybe a thumb drive upstairs in my office… heck let me check. IBB in a sec… Geez, I have the story on a thumb drive and not my old office computer. I am going to have to put it on this computer. But wait, I am only going to write on my blog on this “new” computer and my novel on the computer in my office. Anyway, I digress…

The story, part III is called “Redemption”. I did manage to give a slight outline of the story, and it is fleshed out in my mind. I just have to get it out, this year.

So those are the three main things I will be working on in the year 2022. Of course, I will be trying to write on my blog again. The last time I wrote for my blog, was 2019, and only one piece, in January of 2019. Now, also, during that time I did manage to write pieces for my blog but never published them so I have quite few things to publish, if I so desire.

Moreover, I did think of a few more stories, of course they are still in my storage area, my mind, but they are clear as day. I just have to outline them and work on them.

4. I have over 400 books in storage. I was selling them on an off-shoot of EBay, until it closed down. And for some odd reason I cannot find the inventory list of the books. So, I am going to have to go down there and write down the names of the book, and type them into this computer so I can sell them, again, this time on EBay.

5. I can’t think of any more resolutions that would require my attention, at the moment. Well, maybe, just continue having the fun I had in 2019, you know, like, camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, backpacking, stuff like that. In 2021 I only did, most of the above, 600+ miles, down from 2300 in 2018.

Anyway, Happy New Year. Be Happy in 2022!
