Cheers to 2021! This time of year signifies a fresh start for a lot of people, and I’m sure most of you have a resolution in mind. Whether it be working out more, eating better, reading more *wink wink*, etc. I normally don’t have a New Year resolution, mostly because whenever I do I fail big time. So let’s just say you will not catch me having a resolution of giving up any type of food, because your girl likes snacks.
However, this year I have some goals and lifestyle changes I want to implement. First and foremost, I want to wake up earlier. It’s hard when I work late to want to get up early, but I would have so much more time for things if I just got up an hour or hour and a half earlier. More time for reading, working out, playing with my dogs, keeping the apartment clean. Sure it may hurt at first, because I value my sleep like a dragon values gold, but it can only benefit me. I am the queen of sleep according to my husband but I want to become the queen of seizing the day! Speaking of seizing the day, my lifestyle change ties directly into opening up time for one of my goals for 2021. That goal is, and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that I’m going to attempt this, writing my first novel. Writing a novel is a huge undertaking, and is going to take some time. I’m being honest with myself that I probably won’t finish writing it by the end of the year. Maybe a first draft? We shall see but I’m super pumped! As for my reading goals, I want to read 50 books this year. I ended 2020 with 64 books, however my goal was 80. I was bummed at first that I didn’t hit my goal, but then I realized reading 64 books in a year is quite the accomplishment! I lessened my goal for 2021 just because I’m going to be spending more of my free time outlining and writing versus reading. I’m excited for what this year has in store (maybe not the waking up earlier part, but we will work on that), and can’t wait to keep you updated on all things book related as well as writing!
