“New Year suggestion” – NARA – 515064 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Yesterday I said I would post my Seven Suggestions for 2013. Copying them, I found there were eight.
Here it is, the unalliterative but expanded version of The Eight Suggestions.
1) Finish the @%%&$@!% novel (aka either fall in love with it again or chuck it);
2) follow through on the Sacred Writing Time Pledge ) to write one hour a day;
3) write a daily blog post, and if that becomes too difficult, reduce to three posts per week;
4) participate in at least one A Round of Words in 80 Days challenge, which is no problem for anyone who sets out suggestions and then blogs at least once a week;
5) fix up an office in the spare room;
6) go to bed before midnight so the rest of this list has a chance of being done;
7) keep a timesheet;
8) trim this list to #s 1, 2, and 5 if necessary; do some calculations and acknowledge that #s 1-6 won’t be a burden if the person doing them just gets up and DOES them.
Amen.

For the first week of A Round of Words for 80 Days, I’ll focus on Suggestion #2.
You have 5 minutes to get #6 done–hurry!
Missed it! Does that mean I can stay up till 4:00 a.m. playing with Scrivener?
I think so.
Yay for number one!!!
Fixing up the spare room as an office sounds like fun! I’m glad that stays on the trimmed list.
terrific list
lol
Ambitious…
Keep those suggestions coming. Where’s the suggestion about the magic button? You know, the button you can push and a good fairy will do all that stuff for you. Especially whip up a really great Martha Stewartish writing studio with coordinated wallpaper and pictures.
Amen, friend-amen! Good luck with that!
