I like the three you listed. Not so much #1 but 2 and 3 are ones I hope you keep!
I want to have one edited and before readers by NaNo. I haven’t decided if I can get before agents. Too early considering the state of my works.

If you got a minute, you might check out http://positivewriter.com/writing-contest-you-deserve-to-be-inspired/. Blogs are suitable entries.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.

You won’t keep them. Making them earlier, thinking them through, makes them much more achievable. As does positive things, like I will exercise 5 times a week for 30 minutes rather than I’ll stop eating chocolate.

I’d like DH’s resolution to be to keep the honey-do list at a reasonable length . . .

Mine are:
1. Have a fruit and vegetable at every meal. We’ve been slacking on this a little lately, and we really need to make sure we have one of each.
2. Finish editing The Crowned Prince and make it as good as I can
3. Query at least 20 agents with meaningful, individualized, queries.
