Falling Behind

Last month, another NaNoWriMo session passed. I didn't write a single creative word over the 30-day span. 2,300 words per day is daunting task and more than some professionals churn out in a work week. No matter what I say, however, I can't deny that it stung just a little to see an old acquaintance finish with no problems at all. Hopefully, I can take that bitterness and turn it into production!
A new year is just around the corner, and I am exactly the kind of sap who makes New Years resolutions. For 2009, my resolutions are as follows:

1. Write a minimum of 200 creative words per day.
2. Read a minimum of 25 books in the year.
3. Maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Now, I know number 3 appears on every delightfully chunky person's list, but this isn't necessarily a weight loss goal. Visiting the gym four times a week and not keeping M&Ms at my desk shouldn't kill me...I hope.
