Birthday resolution

I'll be turning 30 this year, something I cannot change regardless how hard I look the other way. October 20 is still well beyond the horizon, and a lot can happen between now and then. Maybe things will remain more or less the same, maybe the world will end, maybe Yellowstone Caldera will erupt and blanket the world in ash. Either way, I can't stand still and do nothing.

I think I've mentioned before that one of my biggest life-dreams was to be a published author before I hit 30. Well, I have published almost 20 stories to date, and each time brings a sense of accomplishment. I hope I'll keep producing and publishing stories for more years to come.

I know I shouldn't be making any resolutions, what with my commitment as a Master's Degree candidate (yeah right), but I feel like I should accomplish something bigger. So here's what I plan to do:

 

I want to finish a novel, complete and polished for publication,
before October 20, 2011.

 

You may have noticed I used the word 'finish' instead of 'write'. I have at least 3 novel works-in-progress, but I always chicken out before I reach 20k words. I need at least 60k words for a complete novel, preferably more.

Pray for me. Help me achieve this. It'll be an awesome birthday gift from everyone.
