New Years Resolutions

[Mermaid]

What a coincidence. I was thinking about New Year's Resolutions this morning - not for myself, mind you, but for the people I ran into. How about...



The local busdrivers: "We promise to set our watches straight so we won't be so late."

The cash registers in the supermarket: "We promise to not be rude and sarcastic towards our costumers."

The local politicians: "We promise to live one month like Mel Brooks did in Life Stinks, so that we'll get a hunch on what life is actually like for our voters."

and so on...

How about for the people that hate thier jobs "We promise not to take our loathing of our jobs out on those we service."

As for mine, I will not let my fear of success get in my way. I will go after what I deserve, and that is greatness. I will welcome new friends with open arms and let go, gently, of those I've outgrown.

I could go on with my idealism, but this is a good start. That, and dropping my winter weight!

My resolution this year is to really put in the effort, attention and diligence I need to try and get an agent. I've been sadly slacking on that, and it's long overdue.

You can do it Sable! Try setting a goal of at least one submission per week to an agency. I'm sure there must be several that would be interested in your work.

I wonder if anyone has been "discovered" on Lit. Do pros ever come here and find writers?
