2. Did you slip back into any old habits that you wish you hadn’t? Did you gain any new habits that you wish you would have walked away from? Did you discover the evils of Nutella? ‘Fess up … we won’t tell.

Oh vices are the bane of my existence. I have a few. In 2011 I started smoking again…twice. I gave in to my fountain pop addiction and took it to new levels (at one point drinking close to 5/day). I was (alternately) slothful. Spent days wrapped up in TV or computer over….well, moving.  I ignored my own writing in favor of doing absolutely nothing.

In short…me and the bad habits in 2011? Yeah, I indulged in far too many.

3. What good have you done in 2011? Where do you really shine? What have you done that makes you proud of yourself?

Believe it or not this is the harder question to answer. I am my own worst critic.  I find it very hard to see what could I may have done.

I’ve gotten better about cleaning. I find myself actually wanting to get things cleaner.  In the past few months I’ve gotten better at drinking more water over pop. I’ve started actually getting a life, meeting people off the computer. I’ve written close to 300,000 words in different novels.

That’s the best I can do for now…I’m not good at the whole half-full thing 🙂
