Why have resolutions at all? I have met so many people that have put forth New Years resolutions only to feel bad about failing to meet them. It seems that most resolutions are about fixing some inadequecy in ourselves and, really, who wants to focus on their failings all year.
I get the impression that you like to write, so maybe your resolution will work, but I think resolutions are not what people need. Rather, if you want to write, figure out how to structure your life to write. I love to eat good food, but I can not afford to dine out every night of the week, plus, so many restaurants serve crap. So, instead of resolving to dine out less and eat at home more often, I do things such that I do eat more home cooked foods. The key point in my rambling is that resolutions are intentions, but nothing gets done until you do it.

I figure one a month couldn’t be too bad – even if the stories are awful I’ll have at least practiced, and I’ll have 12 stories at the end of 2004 that I didn’t have this year.

This is, of course, very easy for me to say since I haven’t submitted anything for publication in at least fifteen years. It’s still good advice though, since stories aren’t any good unless they’re shared.
