8th Day of Xmas

If you're like me — perhaps you don't want to commit to that thought just yet — you're no good at New Year's resolutions. I tend to break mine even as I'm writing them down. That's because I usually select the refinement of qualities that are hardwired into my character, rather than say, lose 10 pounds. (It took me years to figure out that qualities — impatience, anger, selfishness — are just that, qualities, and that context drives our perception of them as good or bad.)

Anyway as a cultural writer, I'm going to make just one resolution on this Eighth Day of Christmas — to experience more in the new year and to think and write about it more profoundly.

What are your artistic resolutions?
