Adapted from Goodreads forum my New Years Resolutions.  I’m reminded of an old joke from my forces days regarding annual reviews which I have amended:<\/p>\n

This officer sets ridiculously low expectations and consistently fails to achieve them<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So with that in mind:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write more – in action with An Agent’s Rise and the first of The Observer Series<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Write better – I live in hope<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Use an editor! – Trying to get one or afford one which amounts to the same thing<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Try writing different genres or at least reading them – have been doing both but will try harder<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Be positive – Not my normal behaviour the glass is normally half empty but not next year<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Don’t worry about reviews or sales – that may not last until the 2nd!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy New Year to one and all<\/p>\n
