Welcome

I was watching Julie and Julia the other day, and I decided that Julie Powell had a great idea. Blog to keep yourself sane. I don't know if anyone will read this, but in the end, while I would love a following (any writer would), I'm not doing this to become famous or rich. I'm doing this for myself. As my first resolution states, I want to write more. This is my answer to that. Granted, what I really want to write more of is fiction, but writing is writing, and who knows, maybe some of my fiction will end up here. (Maybe some of it will even be good.)

As the title implies, this is a blog about my resolutions this year. I've set some lofty goals for myself, as well as set some pretty standard ones, too. You may not understand some of my resolutions right now, but I do, and if you stick with me, dear reader, you will too. Furthermore, I promise that while I may rant, curse, whine, and generally cause a nuisance of myself, this blog will never turn into another version of Bridget Jones' Diary. I promise I won't bore you with an accounting of how many cigarettes I have smoked during the day (4) or how much weight I have gained or, hopefully, lost. (I couldn't if I wanted to. I don't own a scale.) And though I may talk about men, I will never use this as a forum to bash them or to bemoan not having one. (How would I ever keep resolution 6 if I did. Come to think of it, it would be counterproductive to resolution 7, as well.)

As this is just a welcome message, I'll keep it short. My first real blog will be on January 1st. So, please, come back and see me then. I would love to have the company.
