Going public...

I'm going public with one of my New Year's Resolutions. Well, they're actually not Resolutions with a big R. They're really resolutions, or habits, or small projects.
I make about 10 a year, and start each one at the beginning of a month. I don't do anything for November or December, since those months are stressful enough, and if I need more than one month for a resolution or a project, I had those two extra months as slop.
The painting project was last August's resolution. Stopping biting my nails was... a year or so ago. NaNoWriMo. Trying Once-A-Month cooking. Things like that.
Anyhow, March was supposed to have been a project: getting the methodology set up and starting on the Get Negatives Scanned project. But because of some technical difficulties, it is going go be pushed back.
I usually pick a project/resolution/habit I want to work on at the end of the month, spend the last week of the month getting things in place if needed and then move on.
I suppose one could say I do have one Resolution with a Big R: making ten small ones each year and working on them.
So March having been scrapped, I cast around for a new idea. And decided that I was going to do the final push to finish my pseudo-novel.
I'm pretty close. I just need to tie it up. I changed the ending entirely a while back, in my head, and I need to sit down and write. I've done some writing recently but it doesn't feel directed.
Normally, I don't talk much about my little projects... but this one I am. Because I need and want the accountability of having said: By the end of March, I want to have this novel done, or a very good excuse not to have it done, heh.
Bug me, ok?
