Owl  ·  3761 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Do you make resolutions? If so, what are yours for 2014?

Every past year I always do crazy resolutions I know I'll never reasonably accomplish (with one serious resolution), and try to accomplish them (The idea is to just do things I wouldn't normally do otherwise, even if it amounts to nothing). This year shall be no different.

THIS YEAR, THE GREAT OWL WILL TAKE ON THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGES:

Challenge the First: I shall learn how to compose music and write a symphony.

Last year I tried to learn how to play the piano and failed (Somewhat). Was my problem in going too far? Nah, more like I'm not going going far enough. I'm going to be a composer! Step aside, Karl Maria von Weber, 'cuz It's Owl's time to rise 'n shine!

Challenge the second: I shall write a novel, publish it on Amazon, and rake in the $$$

I actually do write from time to time, but I keep it to myself because I know I'm terrible at writing. This year I'm going to write a novel that will sell HUNDREDS... Hopefully. Better watch your back, Dan Brown!

Challenge the last: I'm going to become an artist.

I'm gonna learn the rudiments of proper drawing/painting techniques and make some art that'll dazzle and razzle you. DaVinci's gonna have nothing on me, baby!

Actual Resolution: Write some Poetry every few days/weeks/whenever

I have a small library of poetry, and the more I read from it the more I fall in love with poetry and want to write some of my own. So this year I'm going to try to write some poetry. I've already gotten started writing some poems inspired by various events and stuff, and I hope to write some more.
