My 2012 Writing Resolution

By Brahmanto Anindito

Let's drink for our goals It has been a week since we live in 2012, and I did not make a writing resolution yet. Actually, I never publicized my resolution. But I have learned that it is hard to achieve any goal when you just keep it for yourself. So, I am going to put it in writing on the Internet, therefore I will face public humiliation when I give up Okay, this is nine wonderful things that I am going to accomplish in 2012:

Publish two thriller novels via traditional publisher(s).
Sharpen my writing skill by reading the good ones, be from a popular or unpopular author.
Grow Warungfiksi.net’s traffic twice.
Get more clients for Warung Fiksi’s service.
Develop and maintain another professional web of my passion.
Restart the habit of write for traditional media.
Work out routinely for the sake of my health of body and soul.
Get more religious in everyday life.
Spend more quality time with family and friends. We are a writer, not a hermit. And I want to be a good husband, anyway.

Look, those are not turgid. I believe I can walk them all this year. But I am naïf (or cocky) if I say it’s a piece of cake. I can fail, like we all do. All I know is, I am right now constantly trying to reach those. Or else, my life is falling to boredom in this beautiful 2012.

@BF: Piring terbang mah nggak seberapa. Meteor lebih dahsyat!

Disayangi dg segenap jiwa dan raga.
Rie on January 9, 2012 at 16:14

Oke. Oke. Sesudah resolusi nomer 10 tercapai.

Beberapa resolusinya terlalu general. Itu nanti akan susah menilainya. Seperti meningkatkan kualitas waktu dengan keluarga dan teman. Ini bentuknya kayak apa. Mungkin lebih baik begini, membantu memasak istri 2 kali seminggu dan memijat istri sampai istri tertidur 10 kali seminggu. Hehehe.

Btw, judulnya resolusi menulis, tapi sepertinya itu resolusi secara keseluruhan ya?
Brahmanto Anindito on February 4, 2012 at 09:28

Sebenarnya semua sudah detail tolok ukurnya di catatanku, Pak. Cuma di sini, untuk hal2 yg terlalu pribadi/mengandung “rahasia negara”, sengaja dipublikasikan secara general gitu. Hehehe….

Judulnya kurang pas ya? Hm, kalau gitu kuralat, rasanya lbh tepat: “My 2012 Resolution as A Writer” )
Rie Yanti on February 6, 2012 at 13:14

Honestly, mon cheri, I absolutely agree with what Mr. Yusuf said: memijat istri sampai istri tertidur 10 kali seminggu. I’m waiting
Brahmanto Anindito on February 6, 2012 at 15:33

Ah, don’t believe him! He doesn’t message his wife 10 times a week either. Hahaha….
Rie Yanti on February 9, 2012 at 11:32

I don’t care whatever he does to his wife. I just agree with his suggestion and I want you to do that to me instead of giving “punishment”.
Brahmanto Anindito on February 9, 2012 at 16:17

It’s ludicrousely absurd!
Rie Yanti on February 10, 2012 at 11:39

No, no, no, it’s logical. Message is good for my health.
