I made a private resolution to post a blog entry every day in January, even if it was only a few lines. You can check back and find out how well I’ve done so far. It won’t take you long.
The best I can make of this is that everyone has been telling others to ‘be kind’ in this last year. I’d turn that around to say; include yourself in that. Don’t beat yourself up about failed resolutions, rejections of stories you thought were brilliant, kids who tell you you’re a rubbish parent. Other people will be quick to tell you where you went wrong. If you’re still here, and if even one person is still talking to you, let’s face it; you did something right.
Happy New Year.
