LOL. Along those lines, I resolve to get over the weird poetry anxiety that seems to have lodged itself in my creative colon since I was accepted into a MFA program. Now poetry is all work and much less fun. I think I'm going to focus on writing fiction and non-fiction and stop worrying/trying to meet grand poetry expectations. And I really mean it this time. ;) I think rallentanda is onto something there. LOL.

You want at least 12 of them. I send a single batch of poems out, and they are rejected, and I can't stand it. Never want to send any out again. I need a touch of your philosophy.

One is grand and the other is modest. The grand resolution is to write more poetry. The modest one is to finally figure out dim sum. I have two resolutions for 2010.

One of my resolutions is to trust myself more, to put my critical voice aside when I'm drafting to just let things happen. And, like Carolee and Cynthia above, I want to continue to educate myself through reading, attending readings, and working with other writers I admire. Happy New Year, everyone!
