It's a New Year's Resolution Post!
Here's me working on one of my resolutions already! This year, I'm going to be more active on LJ. I'm going to post more, comment more, and be a better friend. I'll try to keep up on twitter, because I love my peeps and I miss you guys, and I want to know what's going on with y'all.
My next resolution is to write more. To finish the fics I start, to post them regardless of whether or not I think people will read them, because I worked hard on them. It is a little disheartening to put effort into stories I love and not get many comments, but that's not why I write. I just like writing. I signed up for getyourwordsout, pledged to write 150k this year, and I really want to do that.
Along with the whole "write more" thing, I want to focus my efforts on original fiction. That's why I studied Creative Writing in the first place, because I want to write original fiction, I want to get published, and I know I can make that happen. It's the dream.
On a different note, I really, really want to lose weight. My goal right now is just to get under 200lbs. Right now I'm at 242. I want to lose at least half of that weight before my family goes on a cruise, which is something my mom's just started talking about doing. There are times where I don't feel comfortable in my body at all and I know I'm not healthy. I've been slacking off during the holidays and I need to get back on track.
I want to get a job really damn soon, because I need to start saving money, and I want to have a career. I don't expect to make one out of writing, not right away, but I'd be happy with an office job for now. Something I can live off of. Right now I'm still completely reliant on my parents.
I want to date more, maybe have a relationship, but I have a hard time putting myself out there, even on dating sites like OKCupid. Of course, the last few people I've talked to/went on dates with from there were all sort of creepy.
What I want, out of 2012, is to become an adult. A healthy, well-functioning, self-supportive adult. Anyone got any tips?
