A New Years Resolution

Here are my relevant resolutions that I aspire to keep for the year:

I will post at least one blog post per week.

I will write every day, even if it is only a word.

I will finish Treeland's draft zero and draft one this year.

I will prepare the next story's plot and worldbuilding for next year.

I will read one book at least one book every two weeks.

I will complete one short story a month.

Some things may seem low or simple, but low goals will allow me to make all of these become habits that can be increased slowly. Since I plan to post every Saturday, I will talk more in the next post.

Time to Learn about Ships

I believe I have figured out, at least for the basics, what my NaNoWriMo novel may be about. For a class, I had to write my first full short story. I have named it "Atlantis and the Kraken." It is steampunk, and the first thing I realized was that I need to know a lot more about ships if I am going to write this steampunk novel.

But it was great to write something that I would not normally write about. I am a alternate world fantasy writer. Steampunk is something that I even have not read much of. This is a way for me to learn to become better in writing, better in my craft. I will revise this "short" (it's nearly 2,000 words) story tomorrow, as well as work on the NaNo full novel part of it. Plot will be first. I will struggle with it, but the plot must be done. I will get it done.
