2017: A Year of Writing



Its that time of year, the time of looking back and making New Year's Resolutions. I see people critique and rate their top 10 of 2016 on anything. I am one of them. This post was going to be about my top 10 favorite everything. I can't believe I have read that MANY books, and seen COUNTLESS movies, and read boring web pages. I am like a never ending millennium consumer. .
:(

I like things, favorite, bookmark, highlight, and poke at my phone all day long. Things have to change this year. That's why I won't read any books, instead work on writing, not only in english but in Chinese and French.

It must have started as a challenger I read somewhere. I either started writing from when I had joined a writers club, or started a challenge to write 200 words a day (which was tough). Here it goes, as I flush through the last chapter of my books, and ponder my last audio-books of 2016. 2017 will be quiet without the notes from other books, instead filled with writer's block and never ending challenger.I should probably invest in a good keyboard (OR A TYPEWRITER!?!)

My goal as a writer? One might ask what keeps a writer, keep writing. Its a little bit of everything, its the unknowing, the knowing, the motive, the fans, the second life they create. To me, I have a photo of my favorite authors signing their books with a big smile. Its the smile they share with others, the real person people like, and the stories they tell their fans.

Sign your name below if you want to take this challenge with me!

Are we programmed to work out regularly?

   

    Survival of the fittest is a term loosely thrown around, and sometimes we blame our genetics for our success. Are we programmed to get better at something until we have achieved something? In other words, do we work out because we enjoy it or is it our primal instinct? I believe when hard labor was a part of our every day thousands of years ago, that was humans' equivalent of doing overtime. Not many people did it, but it helped if you could push yourself to run a little extra or lift a little more.

  As I head to the gym, I wonder if I like working out because of all the options and results or if I have an instinct? No one pays me to look good or do I have a strength enduring job. People sometimes ask me when is the best time to work out? You might have heard the answers such as 4:30 a.m., after work, or 3 times a week. My answer is twilight because when I go for a run I usually pick a pretty deep forest and run around until it starts to get dark and I become lost. Then twilight happens and I start to run faster because I know it will be harder to find my way back in the dark.
