New Year Resolution
Posted by admin | Filed under News, Short Stories
I’m sure many people have already broken their New Year resolutions. I’m surprised anyone makes them really as January is always such a depressing month (for me at least) that it’s just asking for failure.
Mine was simple but at the same time daunting. It consists of two parts:
1)Write more. Like many people I suffer from terrible procrastination. Much like its bowel based cousin it leads to a painful backlog resulting in all kinds of complications. If a job needs doing I’m sure to put it off until the pressure is really high and then have a terrible explosion…erm hang on…
Anyway this year I intend to spend a little less time playing videogames and lounging around and more time writing. It means I’ll have to be more organised in my final year at university but I’m old enough to handle that now.
Not only will I make sure to work on short stories I’m also intending to try and write and post a piece of flash fiction on a regular basis on this website. More on that later…
2) Submit my work. It sounds simple enough but it’s something I find vaguely terrifying. I’ve really only been working on creative writing in the last 18 months or so and the thought of someone turning around and telling me “No! What are you playing at!” is sweat inducing. But we all have to start somewhere and rejection seems to be a big part of writing, or any creative outlet. Time to grow a thick skin methinks!
