I wish I didn’t need resolutions for writing. I would have hoped after six years into my career, I’d have succeeded in following a regimen. Sadly, I am one of those who needs to reboot.

My goals: Write more. Catch up on what’s going on in the writing world. Correct my laxity in using social media.

Fortunately, I’m making an excellent head start by house sitting–the perfect and perfectly free writing retreat.

I house sit for friends and family. For one week or more, I am mainly responsible for picking up mail, taking trash to the curb and feeding the cat or cats or fish.

The rest of the time is mine, mine, mine.

Bonuses include a stocked refrigerator and a breathtaking view out the window.
