I love when a prompt generates so much participation.

Good luck with your writing goals in 2009.

Peace.

You go, Rob! This is most definitely the year. I feel you on this one.

For sure.

My goal this year is also a large one… I quit my day job so that I can transition into making my living as a writer. My day job had become my 7-day-per-week job, and even though writing was part of the job, it was a formulaic TV show I could write in my sleep, and 95% of my job was not writing.

I have a finished novel to publish and completed screenplays to get produced and have done nothing with them while my job absorbed my life.

This is the year!

Here’s a most ambitious creative goal.

I have a major project I’ve been pursuing for some time now. The project has been hampered by false starts, inconsistent personal confidence, and other deeply frustrating obstacles — such as the tragic death of a son, and my heart attack.

I want to create a ‘coffee-table’ type book, much like my Image & Verse (I&V). This book idea actually gave birth to my I&V blog as a way to help me develop and refine the concept.

The I&V book will be large size, hard cover, elegant paper stock, and high quality production and printing. The book will contain a larger number of my writings, artworks, and photographs — many never posted on I&V.

I want the book to reflect the look, feel, and the varied creative content of I&V. For example, the book’s pages will be matte black. The print type will be a light color, perhaps creme or tan or grey — and the fonts will be unique, but easily readable.

The title fonts, and the first letter of each poem and short story, will be a different font style and color from the font style used in the body of each piece — and will be larger in size.

Each reproduction of my original artwork and photographs will be a 6-color, high-resolution plate.

A CD/DVD of my “Visceral Voice” spoken word recordings will accompany the book as an inside back cover insert.

This is a borderline obsession, and haunts me always. I will make this project happen before I exit this mortal plane — so why not this year!

I posted a poem about beginnings and endings. Avoiding the Woolly Worms

This has nothing to do with my resolution, but I was just watching MSNBC a few minutes ago and to the podium comes freshly impeached Gov. Rob Blagojevich, and, believe it or not, he reads his favorite poem of resolution, from

Alfred, Lord Tennyson : Ulysses

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Very strange.
