looked over several of my poems

Writing is something I do pretty regularly for a couple of months and then put aside for several months; then the process repeats, again and again.

My primary writing goal for 2010 is to not get discouraged, to not stop writing.

In the past I've completed two (unpublished) novels and first-drafted a third, that one for NaNo 2007. I've written lots and lots of poems (a rough half-dozen of which have been published in print and online literary journals), and a few short stories (one of which has been published in an online literary journal). Sometimes the quest for publication leads me to discouragement, so I'm putting that entire idea on the back burner for the moment. The most important thing is that I keep writing; I don't want to give up anymore.

For now I'm just going to keep track of when and what and how much I write. I will start today. Every day I will write in my journal at the very least. More specific goals will come later.
