Post number 134 will be my last of 2013. This blog has blessed me with the motivation to write regularly. It has been a forgiving outlet and encouraged me to rise after each fall. It has connected me with like-minded disillusionaries dreamers and brought me out of my writer’s shell. Okay, I’m still kind of working on that part. Maybe if I ever end up being the only living member of my family left on this planet, I’ll get truly gutsy, but let’s hope I never come to find out.
I’ve come along way since March of 2011 and I, in large part, credit blogging. I’ve written so much more than I ever would have. I began building a Writer’s Platform which I never would have known about if it weren’t for blogging and I’ve been spurred on to enter several writing contests. I’m even anticipating the publication of my very first contest-placing interview, due to hit the newsstands January 7th. Yes, me! Who would’ve thought?
I gave up the resolution thing years ago. Vowing to cut out sugar, keep my room tidy and stop biting my nails started to seem like trivial declarations and evidently incredibly impossible ones to uphold.
So, although I will not be making a list and taping it to the back of my headboard this year, I do have certain aspirations in mind. I won’t bore you with the numerous subcategories, but will simply say, writing. Apparently, you don’t need resolution to hang on to resolve.
I resolve to continue to follow and enjoy Hazy’s blogs/writings in 2014 & on.

“Disillusionaries” was the right (or write?) word, though “dreamers” works just as well. Illusion (or disillusion) is what makes writing work.
Thanks for sharing a piece of yourself throughout 2013. Your blog hasn’t just made you a better writer. It’s made me a better one, too.

Well, it must be the “write” word because I switched it from dreamers just before I published it. LOL.
By the way – are you aware of how large of a compliment you’ve bestowed upon me?
May 2014 bring us both even more betterment. Thank you, Adam!

Congratulations so far! I am kind of at the same point you were a couple of years ago. Just made the decision to follow my passion and write more regularly, and thought a blog would be a good place to get started. It is very inspiring to see how far you have come , wish you all the best for the future.
On a selfish note I would really appreciate any tips/advice you can offer, if you would like to follow my blog and keep abreast of my writings and offer your words of wisdom from time to time, even better!

Regular blogging is one of the biggest things. (something I struggle with) Interesting content, well written and professional in that proper grammar and spelling are used. Liking, commenting and following fellow bloggers always helps too. It’s a community and while I don’t like someone’s posts just because they liked mine, you get what you give and support is always appreciated and returned. Hope that helps a little!
