I write a lot every day. I write texts to my friends and family, I write a cornucopia of bullshit on facebook, I write on this blog as occasionally as my lazy ass allows. I have not, however, been writing my book very often, and that changes today. A lot of things change today; as silly and arbitrary it is to start big life changes on January first, I think it’s as good a time as any to get shit started. So without further ado, the uncertain and subject to change resolutions of the Jady for 2016. 

1. No more eating crap. I can eat anything I want….so long as it is tasty, well-made with quality ingredients, and not directly contributing to my ass growing even larger. Food is a necessity, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t also be a delicious and deserved treat. Every time. Broccoli as a snack, instead of a hot pocket. Salmon as a meal, instead of Wendy’s. Etc. 

2. Spend time on the friends who have been loyal and present in my life. No more worry over that last Facebook invite I didn’t get, no more reaching out over and over to people who don’t give a damn about me and my life. 

3. Spent time every day working my my art, be it writing or drawing/painting,  but leaning towards writing…I want to get my rough draft of the Story done by June-ish, edited by August, and submitted by October to publishing companies. If I get an avarage of 5000 words a week, (1000 words a day with a few days off) I should have readable and editable copy by June. It’s a reasonable goal if I get my act together and pen to paper. 

4. Excercise 3 days a week. Which means I have to excercise tomorrow and Sunday, but that’s my own fault for slacking off this workweek. I’m thinking Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday….so if any of you loyal readers hail from SLC and want to hang out productively, I’ll be at the gym on those days after work, around 5:30/6:00 the 24 hour fitness in Sugarhouse. Unless I’m doing bikram, in which case it’ll be 6:30 (also in Sugarhouse). 
I have a busy year coming up, but I thrive on activity. It’s boredom that is the great mind-killer. Lots of love to you loyal readers, it means that world to me that you’re listening.
