Happy New Year to one and all. I looked for a suitable literary quote relating to the new year, and this was my favourite: "The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears."
- W.H. Auden
My favourite resolution was from comedian Sean Lock who said on the 8 out of 10 Cats Christmas Special "My new year's resolution is to be more chivalrous to feminists."
On the subject of resolutions I'm with Brigdet Jones who said "I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second."
However, after saying all of that on the resolution front mine is the same as last year, I'm going to write more and when I'm not writing I'm going to read more.
I'll just add a few hundred words to my current project then that's day one under my belt.
Enjoy the holiday :-)
