One of my 2007 resolutions was to read more books.  I wanted to read more for many reasons, not the least of which would be to not watch as much television and to improve my own writing.  As it turns out, I have managed to do that quite nicely.

This year, I've been considering several possibilities.  One of which is to draw more.  I used to draw all the time, mostly sketching during class.  Now I only draw Pokemon on my son's lunch bag (which is really cool, mind you).  But I'd like to start flexing my drawing fingers again.

Second, I'd like to keep up with my friends who are living far away better.  That means keeping up with emails, letters, and yes the odd blog post that keep me in touch with people.

Third, I'd like to actually do less.  Or rather, I'd like to set fewer big projects (e.g. my 300 room dungeon project, my 3000 pt. Warhammer dwarf army, or my Hadrian's Wall Milecastle, all of which aren't done).  I've actually considered just going with smaller stuff (i.e. small warbands, single small buildings, even just sketchy encounters and campaign premises).  It might be even time to unearth "Premise Beach," which was a heading I used to be into my blank book where I'd just write down basic ideas for stories without bothering to flesh them out.

In that theme, I'm going to stop the resolutions, just so I can focus on doing less.
