Here we are, mid-November, and 2012 is working diligently to dash away from us day-by-day, and it just so happens that my New Year's resolution is stalking me. 

...Maybe haunting me is a better phrase; regardless it's looming and the clock is ticking. 

Normally I'm not one to rock the New Year's resolution - it's always seemed silly if not totally pointless, given that most of them fall by the wayside before January gives way to February. Heck, two weeks in (okay, two days) and you're hearing people bemoan their broken New Year's promise. But this year I thought, I can totally do a writing-related resolution, with the odds in my favor for following through.

...Yeah, totally. 

So, in the early days of 2012, I resolved that I would submit at least one article to a national publication. {Crickets chirping} Well, here we are, November 17, 2012, and I can't even tell you the last time I scoped out the writer's guidelines for such a publication. Around mid-year I consoled myself with my complete lack of follow through by submitting a piece to Chicken Soup for the Soul. That's something, right? Yet in my heart of hearts I knew that's not what I was aiming for. I do love a loophole, though...

With just over 40 days left in the year (which is crazy talk, I might add), there's still time, so here's hoping that putting this little tidbit of my fractured resolution out there, follow through will soon be coming my way. 

I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, how did your New Year's resolutions fare this year? And if you've got a New Year's resolution that met failure in the most epic of ways, you know we want to hear about it. Ready...Set...Share!
