I suppose this is a good place to start... Return to SS Finish at least one short script every two months (easy I know). Finish my first feature. I've started too many, but never actually finished one. Place in a script competition for short scripts. Dan |

Finish my next feature. Get back into the swing of writing. Write better scripts (or at least ones that don't suck). Live happier, healthier, and more productive.
I know new year's resolutions are sort of cliche and people don't always make them happen but I'm seriously aiming to enter 2014 like a snake shedding its skin. |

Ah, Jimmy, too hard on yourself, dude. I was actually meaning to ask ya, would you mind sending me Left Hand Paths and that Black Market script of yours (bold)? I been rifling through the forum for anything (found your scripts in the "what you have posted on SS" thread) and those 2 caught my attention. I know I wasn't a big fan of some of your stuff, but I want to give those 2 a read... if you don't mind. --Steve |

Finish the features I have started. Improve my writing. By some miracle, rack up some credits on imdb. Lose weight. Love more. Live more. Give more. |

I'm going to try to make a serious effort to write more. (Probably what most writers say.)
2013 is the first year since I started writing that I didn't finish a feature and I feel kinda bad about that.
Gonna try to do 6 pages a day, since that's about the amount I can knock out in an hour. |

Quoted from NickSedario

Mine; quit smoking.

There are two sides to the addiction. One is psychological, the other is physical. Took me a month to beat the psychological (by wearing nicotine patches), and three days for the physical. Those three days are pretty hard, almost painful at times... but worth it. So much healthier now. I smoked (properly) for twenty years. Always said I'd give up at 30, but I carried on till 35. |

To not start developing a new feature until I have finished the one I am currently working on... ideas aren't my problem. Having the patience and motivation to keep working on them until that final 'FADE OUT' is committed to the page is. |

Finish my first feature and get around to writing more short stories. I'm tired at looking at the same crap day in and day out that I wrote months ago. I need to get motivated and just do it. |

2014 New Year's Resolution Tracker:
Silverback: Quit smoking (staying on the wagon). Mr. Blonde: Finish three new non-shorts (0-3). DanBotha: Return to SimplyScripts/Finish 6 shorts (0-6)/Finish a feature (0-1)/Place in a shorts competition (0-1). James McClung: Finish a new feature (0-1)/Improve writing/Happy/Healthy/Productive. Stevie: Not open E-mails from Jeff with photos attached (good luck). Pale Yellow: Finish uncompleted features/Improve writing/Get IMDb credit(s) (0-1)/Lose/Live/Love/Give. Crookedowl: Write more (6 pages a day). DustinBowcott: Make a short film (0-1). StevenClark: Live up to personal and professional potential. Toby_E: Finish current feature/Stop procrastinating. Mr. Ripley: Return to SimplyScripts/Finish two rewrites (0-2)/Write a little less Lynchian. DV44: Finish a feature (0-1)/Write more shorts/Get motivated.
Here it is, guys. Plain and simple. This is what we're all (currently) looking forward to in 2014. There's still plenty of people to make some resolutions. But, I think if you succeed in one of your resolutions, you should post up here again. Reward yourself for all the effort you made to turn a wish into reality. =)
I would be happy to update this post to acknowledge your guys' success, if you'd like, whether you write that feature or rewrite those shorts. Win that competition or become #1 on IMDb. Wishing you all the best in 2014. =) |
