some goals for 2002

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2002.01.01

Well, 2002 already. I can remember noticing that the year had changed to 1978, as a child. How it all starts accelerating!

2001 - a difficult year for me, as I think it was for many - is over. I have big hopes for 2002.

My resolutions this year are:

-worry less about dumb crap, starting immediately

-enjoy more caffeine, liquor, and food

-to write something every day

Also, some goals.

They are:

-find a job

-get my novel into shape and submitted to some publisher(s)

-maybe start dating again

I'll probably add to them in time.

[Edit, 2021.08.07: Young me would not succeed with any of those goals.]

Writing is a lonely job, unless you're a drinker, in which case you always have a friend within reach.
