A Novel Year Resolution

It's been nine days and I've now come up with my new year's resolution. Not very efficient, I know, but last year it took me 364 days and 18 hours to come up with a resolution, and that resolution was not to be bitten by a snake in 2014. I did come up with that one right before walking through some dry scrub on the way back to my new years eve party, but it goes to show that allocating a lot of time to think about resolutions does not equate to high quality resolutions being made.

Anyway, my 2015 resolution is to write a terrible novel. You probably can't write a great novel without first writing a terrible novel... unless you're talented or something. So if I want to write a great novel I need to practice and write a terrible novel, or else I might end my life being very good at writing only the beginnings of novels.
