Today in the northern hemisphere we will have more light today than we did yesterday.  For me, it's the new year.  

My husband and I enjoyed celebrating the solstice yesterday in our wood-fired hot tub, sampling his solstice beer, watching the last sunset of the year.  The conversation lingered on what we plan to put to bed with that sunset, and what things we wanted to nurture in the new year.  Creative endeavors topped the nurturing list for us both.

For him, it was that he will spend ten hours a week working on his art, and that he will release a full interactive fiction release this year.

For me, it is that I will reframe my old photos by the end of the week and shoot for a target of one new photograph here per week in 2011.  I will also get the tools I need to take the photographs I want.  I haven't been using the DSLR I got, and that's probably due to having a middle of the road lens that is functional, but doesn't do well for the two things I love most: macros and landscapes.  I'm also contemplating DxO for photo processing in the new year, which is on sale through the 25th.

What about you?  What creative goals have/will you set for the new year?

Happy new year!

My main creative goal is probably similar to your posting something once a week at least... sometimes I go too long (MONTHS) in between deviations, just because I think school is overwhelming me. But some of my writings are like 2 paragraphs. I think I can manage to do AT LEAST one of those once a week.

I also want to finish my projects, and start some new ones. I started them a bit less than a year ago-- and I think by the time a year is up (give or take a month) they should be completed and I should be on to something new!

Also, I want to start writing/posting more original work. I write a decent amount, but I am too self-conscious to post stories that have characters of my own design. I need to get over that.

Finally, I want to up my Yoga practice to three times a week instead of once a week. Because I really love it- but I'm just lazy and don't go to the studio.

ANYWAYS, happy new year. best of luck with your goals!
