So, it's January 1st again, and most of us are making promises to ourselves and others that we probably won't keep. It's customary. So, of course, there are the New Year's Resolutions concerning our writing habits. Will we write more? Will we hone our skills? Will we challenge ourselves, become more controversial? What specific improvements will we make?

It all depends on the foundation we build upon.

So, I'm going to try something a little different this year: instead of resolving to achieve specific milestones in my writing, I pledge to build a more solid writing foundation. I am committing to reading more, writing for myself more often and not just for clients, and to use more literary device in both my practical and creative writing. My theory is that if I do those simple things, more complex developments will come as a result.


What do you think?

    I have decided to really learn social media before I start writing about it too much. I really think one needs to gain a following and some traction in social media first, which is what I am working on. The reason being that I want to make sure someone is going to read what I am writing and actually comment on it. I do want to grow outside of my areas of expertise and am working hard to do so...

    Much success to you in your endeavors, Tom. It's always respectable to see someone wanting to become knowledgeable in a field before trying to pass themselves off as the go-to guy online. Too many people do that, which makes it hard for them to develop a real following.

    People can usually tell when you're full of it ;-)

    I just want to discipline myself enough to keep writing regular posts on this blog!

    :-P
