2008 new year's resolutions #2
Tuesday, 1 January 2008, 18:33...and the same goes for poetry and anything else creative that I enjoy. Music, maybe. Even art... well, very distantly possibly. I'll settle for overcoming the self-loathing around poetry before I try for any of the rest, which are more deep-seated.
I'd make some airy declaration about health and whatnot too, but a year's a long time; I've no idea where my body or mind will be by December.
So no proper resolutions, but a few shoulds. I should do the audio recording of Mews for my grandmother. It will throw my issues surrounding my voice into painfully sharp relief, though, so I'll need to be ready for that. And then there's a possible rewrite of Mews to make it 'marketable'. I have no intention of marketing it, but I would like to improve it generally. Slen keeps dropping oh-so-subtle hints about both submitting it for publication and writing a sequel ("anything, as long as there's more Felicita and Pranciskus"). I'm amenable to the second idea; the first, waagh. I truly honestly wrote Mews as something completely personal for him, not even thinking about what any other reader might like. So although I suppose publication would be "heh, yay", the idea's too farcical to be real.
More shoulds. I should get some proper training at work, and I should play a lot more with Drupal. I want to do the latter, too. What else do I want for the year ahead? No idea!
