101 Reasons to Stop Writing

It would have been twee to ask you a week ago what your writing-related New Year’s resolutions were - too cheerful by half, and 90% bullshit. Much more fun to wait for the tomato juice to overcome the hangovers, and see what resolutions you’ve already broken, or are likely to break.

So, let me know: did you make any NYRs about writing, and have you blown them already?

• Did you resolve to stop writing? (I wish.)
• Did you resolve to hit some arbitrary daily wordcount, and are you already behind?
• Did you decide to give up blogging about your addiction to YouTube videos?
• Did you determine to redraft that unreadable concordance of cliches you call a novel?
• Did you promise to learn the basics of grammar and punctuation?

I’ll go first. I resolved not to waste time arguing about writing with flaming eejits. I’ve already succumbed.

(Note to Self: If you argue with monkeys, they will eventually fling poo. He’s probably chuckling now - “Heh heh, he said ’suc cum’, heh heh”.)
