New Year’s Recap

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So glad 2024 is over and a New Year has dawned. I’m looking forward to a fresh start with everything. Hope to writer more. Hope to travel more in 2025.

My husband and I spent the evening at home. We went out to dinner at a swanky restaurant. Dressed up for the occasion. Then went home and put on our jammies to watch TV – a string of Hallmark Christmas movies. Lol.

Today, my husband, Bob, and I plan on visiting with friends – spending the day snacking and playing board and card games. I’m bringing an assortment of mini peppers stuffed with Garlic & Chive cream cheese, and a vegetable relish tray with Dill dip. YUM!

For games with have: Triominos, Things, and Shutter box.

Should be a fun time. Roads are clear. It’s cold outside, but not icy.

Recapping my 2024 New Years Resolutions, I had hoped to do the following:

  • Complete my latest TV Pilot – I was 8 or 10 pages to the end so that was an easy one to keep & I managed to edit/refresh the draft.
  • Lose 10 lbs in 3 months – Well, I lost 10 in 4 months. Gained it all back after Thanksgiving.
  • Add a Yoga regimen to my weekly routine – I did some chair yoga for a month ,but it was boring. I did add a stretching routine 3 days a week.
  • Brainstorm & write Act 1 & 2 of a new TV Pilot – Did that and completed the entire script by November.
  • Complete 2-3 new short scripts & vet them in contests – Wrote 5 episodes of a Web Series. Episodes are too short to spend $ on contests. I’ll take it to my local screenwriter’s group and see what they think in 2025.

Not bad for 2024. Better outcome than usual for my yearly resolutions.

This year will be a tough. My resolution To-Dos for 2025 are:

  1. Move to a daily 15-minute stretch routine. Maybe even add some isometric exercises for strength.
  2. Complete another Thriller Feature.
  3. Complete another TV Pilot.
  4. Submit my Web Series to my screenwriters’ group & talk to a director I know about producing it.
  5. Apply for a Stowe Narrative Lab.

Might seem easy, but hubby and I plan on a 10-day trip to Yellowstone in late May, and a month-long RV trip to South Carolina, Georgia and Florida in September.

I made the list short and I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

How did your 2024 New Year Resolutions Recap stack up? Whatever you didn’t accomplish can always be push to this year. 2025 is wide open with possibilities!

Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
