1. What I Want to Do in 2014

blank

I never really like to call my plans “resolutions.” I mean, does anyone actually keep their resolutions? But I do have some things I hope to do in 2014.

  • Keep a journal again through the Documented Life Project.
  • Learn Spanish. Really this time!
  • Learn to play the flute again. I was in the school band from sixth grade through tenth grade, but I haven’t picked up my flute in over 10 years, so I’ve forgotten fingerings and how to read music.
  • Write 3 books. At least.
  • Get the rest of the Swans Landing series in print.
  • Read 30 books. At least.
  • Read children’s books I never read as a child. I’ve done this for the last few years. In 2013, my choice was the Little House on the Prairie books (loved them!) and in 2012, it was the Chronicles of Narnia books (loved them too!). I’ve been thinking either Roald Dahl’s books or else the entire Ramona series. Now, I have read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, but I haven’t read any of Roald Dahl’s other books. I have also read a couple of the Ramona books and I have my old childhood copy of Beezus and Ramona, but I never read all of them.
  • Hit a bestseller list. Hey, I’m just throwing it out there so the universe hears it! :)

What are you doing in 2014?
