    This is fantastic. And so attainable.

    Mine however, might be less attainable... It would be to quit drinking wine (which means all alcohol) for the year and finally finish writing my first novel. It seems that when I drink I only manage to write poetry or short, fragmented prose works. This novel of mine has been sitting in a state of abandonment for the majority of the past 3 years. I am beginning to fear for its well-being. The pages have grown visibly ill, and the sentences have developed a nasty cough. This must be the year!

    An oft told tale and especially on this forum. Why bugger about writing poetry that, although it might give the reader an unintended laugh, will inevitably distract a potential novelist from finishing a book?

    Long ago I made a New Year resolution that I have kept faithfully to this day. It was to give up making New Year resolutions.

    Exclamation New Year's Resolutions Of the Transvestite Empress of the Universe

    1)This year I want to become the transvestite Empress of the universe!

    2) I shall erect my poetry into gianT-sinFul-scuLpturEs on all the street corners of all the cities of the world!

    3) I shall have sex with all the great words of all the languages on Earth!

    4) I shall make contact with all the extraterrestrials in the universe with my poetry!

    5) On live television I will address the world in my great transvestite empress-of-all-the-universe costume, and declare the human race my slaves, and I shall put all six billions of the human race to work erecting a gianT-eveRythiNg-pOetry that will be signed by me!

    6) And all willing women of the world (& men) shall experience the great literary prowess of my phallus-pen!

    7) Then I shall turn the English language into a giant temple of sin!

    Those are just some of my New Year's resolutions. I'll let you know the rest later.

    Wow Wolf. As I suspected, you're not really giving the rest of us much creative freedom of expression after all are you? I knew it was all about your ego. Next time you post a point of view, don't use the word 'we'. Happy New Year!
