Dr. BDO's Problem Page : New Year's Resolutions
Dear Dr. BDO,
I feel like I need to make some Science Fictional New Year resolutions to give me some direction and purpose, but I can't think of any. Can you suggest some?
Yours,
Aimless in Axminster
Happy New Year! Ahh, the time to set goals and challenge yourself. Okay, so how about setting some reading challenges, as reading is usually the activity to suffer in a modern lifestyle. You could maybe read a short story every day (as John and others have done)? You could maybe try and read a novel a week? You could try and read all the short list nominees for the major awards (Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, BSFA)?
And if you're a writer what about writing a short story every week? Or finally writing a novel this year?
That should keep you busy.
