Resolutions

[gothwalk]

I don't have many resolutions lined up. I thought about a whole bunch, but really, I have enough projects in hand at any given time anyway, and work travel - of which there will be at least some this year - steals some of my project time.

However, here are some.

1) Pay attention to the the concepts and rules set out in Household Management for Men. I'm not saying I'll manage to hit all of them, for the simple reason that I reckon nobody in existence, male or female, could do so, but I'm going to give it a shot.

2) Learn to draw people. The idea here is to draw something every day that gets me, by the end of the year, to a point where I can draw people - and in particular, clothing. I have a billion and one concepts in my head for clothing in different cultures in my campaign worlds, and no ability to get them out there in anything other than words. And really, by the time you're using the word "armoured scapular", you need images.

3) Stay organised. The use of the concepts from Getting Things Done has changed a lot of my thinking, and I'm going to need that in work as much as at home, if not more so. In this job, I have the chance to use it.

4) Grow things. There's more to growing things - vegetables and fruit, and maybe even some of those pesky flower things - than sticking the seeds in the ground and standing back, and I intend to get the hang of it.

As for growing things; herbs are among the easiest things to grow, especially if you start not with seeds but with cuttings.

Household Management for Men, eh?

*strokes chin speculatively*

Any good?

Well, on the one hand, it's all basic common sense stuff. On the other, it's all written down in one place.

I'd recommend it for anyone, really; if you can read it and go 'I know all that already', fantastic, and if not, it'll fill in some gaps.
