Hav­ing optioned David Lubar’s intel­lec­tual prop­erty for the princely sum of $0 (aka, I’m bla­tantly steal­ing his idea of post­ing res­o­lu­tions at the end of the year in order to assure accu­racy), I’m now ready to post my 2007 Resolutions.

1. Fin­ish the YA urban super­nat­ural novel (YAUS) I began in 2006.
2. Join a kick-ass cri­tique group.
3. Get an agent for YAUS.
4. Sell YAUS to a pub­lisher.
5. Become ALAN Pres­i­dent.
6. Lose 100 pounds.
7. Eat sushi from a con­veyor belt in Japan.
8. Meet my role model, David Lubar, and let him turn my last name into a pun in front of 497 teach­ers and librar­i­ans.
9. Shave.

All in all, I pre­dict a pretty good year. Except the shav­ing thing. Ow.
