Yes, it’s only the third day of the new year, and I’ve already broken one of my resolutions, which was to try to write something, no matter how small or trite (as many of the few posts that exist have been the past few months) every day. I’m blaming it on the cold that snuck up on me yesterday and that I had the kids to myself for the day, but if I were to actually achieve a resolution for once, I can’t let a little sniffle and lack of time get in the way.
Obviously the only way I could make this work is to build up a pipeline of stories in progress, so I’ll have to work at building a few in advance. Yet, so many prior times I said I would do something here and then failed to, is this just another doomed attempt to do more of what I’d like to be able to have time to do that crashes headfirst into the brick wall of reality?
Now, off to write something about the kids as a separate post so I can get myself “back on track” as it were.

Hi John, that is an ambitious resolution! I may just be easy to please, but I thought the video of Thalia sitting was terrific. I especially liked hearing you and Liz chuckle in the background. More of these sorts of things would certainly be appreciated (and hopefully easy to produce). Maybe you could have Siena producing audio clips. She’s almost old enought to be put to work in my book!
Hope you are staying reasonably warm.

This is a post note, offered on 13 January 2010 or perhaps a reflection of a future look into John’s desire/efforts to write more. John has entered 13 posts for January 2010 so far, well on his way to breaking the all time high of 14 in August 2009. So has he really broken a resolution? i think not.
