Resolution Check: First Quarter

2012 is one-fourth done. Spooky.

Here's the goal check:

• 30 Minutes of Writing Per Day - Looking very good - except for maybe the day or two where I did 29 minutes instead.


• One Quick Sketch Per Weekday - I think I missed one day. So this goal's still looking good.


• One Drawn "Scene" Per Week - Scenes have not been the focus of most of my sketching. I'm still putting up scenes regularly, though.


• 6 Books Read By Year's End From This List - I've started The Great Gatsby. Then my life exploded. I haven't been able to finish yet. I'll get it done in May, though.


• 12 Books Read Total - Already half-done. I may actually make this goal tougher.


• Watch 6 Movies From This List - Two down. Still have a ways to go.


• Eliminate the Word "Um" from My Spoken Vocabulary - Heh. No.

The most important goals (well, most important to me) I've kept. The rest are slowly progressing. Go 2012!

Resolution Check - One Month Later

In an effort to create some semblance of accountability, I'm doing a quick check-up on the goals I posted here at the beginning of the year. Here's how I'm doing so far:

• 30 Minutes of Writing Per Day - So far, so good.


• One Quick Sketch Per Weekday - I've phoned it in a couple of days, but I've been doing pretty well here.


• One Drawn "Scene" Per Week - I, um, actually forgot about this goal. I've got, like, one and a half "scenes." But I've been doing some pretty good sketches, so I'll call it good.


• 6 Books Read By Year's End From This List - One down, five to go.


• 12 Books Read Total - I'm joining a book club, so I'll be able to hit the twelve-book mark pretty easily.


• Watch 6 Movies From This List - Nothing yet, but this averages out to one movie every other month. I'm not worried yet.


• Eliminate the Word "Um" from My Spoken Vocabulary - Okay... this one has been really HARD. Need to do better.

So I've got some work to do, obviously, but the month of January was really promising. Here's hoping the rest of 2012 goes as well!
