I have never done so myself - instead keeping to the standard resolution list - but I definitely see the appeal in choosing just one word that describes how you want to live your year and sticking to it. It seems to work for people and I could see myself trying it out some year. Perseverance is a good one, especially when you break it down into categories and how you want to overcome those challenges, move outside your comfort zone, to complete your goals. Wishing you all the best in writing, job hunting, and fitness this year!!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-75530238795908011382017-01-04T18:41:05.928-05:002017-01-04T18:41:05.928-05:00I did this this year as well but with a phrase.

I LOVE IT. I mostly do a checklist of things I'd like to complete, eeep, but the "word of the year" is still such an awesome idea. I hope you do well with finishing off your writing and going for the next stage of querying. *cheers for you in the background* And good luck with the job hunting too!!
