I'm working on a sonnet right now though, and I couldn't IMAGINE doing that on a word processor.

If it's in my journal, that counts. If it's work for the online writing class I'm starting later this month, or an assignment I've given my students, or even a letter or personal email, it counts--just not lesson planning. I just feel the need for my output to catch up with my input. No, I’m making it really easy on myself. If it’s in my journal, that counts.

Like you, I feel that this is all the wrong time of year for new beginnings (especially since I've spent the last 21 years on a school schedule). I also would rather not make promises that I know I can't keep, even if only to myself. However, on Monday night I couldn't sleep, and so I took an ambition that's been growing in me and narrowed it down to a daily goal: write for at least 15 minutes. So far, so good.
