Happy belated new year!
The reason this is so late is a pretty embarrassing one … I lost my laptop charger. So my laptop has essentially been a chunky paperweight for the last ten days or so.
I’m not normally one for resolutions (far too easily broken), so I decided to promise myself a couple things instead, things which were promised a little before the new year anyway. I’ve decided to cook more and rely less on store-bought meals/takeaways (already managing this, so that’s a success). And to self-publish the Goosebump-style horror/adventure novella I wrote (with a view to writing more). I had some unexpectedly lovely comments from people who read the book a year or so ago and it’s given me the urge to get it out there.
How was everyone’s new year? Make any resolutions/promises?

Played Resident evil code veronica with my wife and cat at home. I am not a big new years eve fan. Fireworks and the people we have over here do not mix…

I had a friend over and we just talked for so long we didn’t even realise it had gone past 12. Sounds like your take on New Years is about the same as mine. Never been big on it

We were more concerned about Oi being overwhelmed with all the noose, but he seems to have taken it well.

YES! You totally should. The author in me is incredibly biased in this matter. But you totally should

Glad to hear the cooking idea is working for you.
Did you find the old cord or have to buy a new one for the paperweight?
I don’t do resolutions because, as you note, they’re so easily broken and I don’t want to get into the habit of saying I’m going to do something knowing full well I won’t be able to.

Happy new year, and I hope it’s a good one for you.
I make one-word resolutions and then little goals that pertain to it. I can’t do the huge resolutions thing.
I’ve been trying to cook more too, but it can be such a challenge when life gets busy. Sometimes the best thing to do is to cook on the weekend and hope it lasts for half the week.

I don’t really make personal New Year’s resolutions because like you said they are easily broken and I know I will no doubt fail so the goals I set always have to do with reading. I shared a few goals for this year back in December. I will leave the link below if you want to check them out.

And well done on the decision to cook more: cooking – for oneself or for family and friends – can turn out to be both fun and rewarding. We look forward to some posts on your exploits 🙂
