Naughty Secrets 2012 Edition

Welcome to my portion of the Naughty New Years Blog Hop where I reveal all my naughty secrets from 2012 and my goals to come to be a little less naughty for 2013. We can all hope not to be too bad--but sometimes the halo goes crooked anyway. Here are my lists of sins for 2012:

  1. I used a flash drive as my only computer backup. When that blew up in my face I learned very quickly that Dropbox, an external hard drive that saves my whole computer on a daily basis, and multiple emails to myself are crucial to avoiding another meltdown over several months lost work. Lets not do that again, shall we?
  2. I ate way too much fast food. Ugh, we were lazy in the kitchen! Combine that with number 3 and it was no good.
  3. I became a first rate workaholic that didn't have time for anything save making words. So, I got a lot of words for 2012, but not a whole ton of peace and tranquility. I thought it was impossible to get as bad as I have been--turns out there's no off button in this business.
  4. I didn't read nearly enough books, yet I still accumulated them at a crazy rate.
  5. And I went to see way too many Twilight movies.
  6. Twitter made me it's little bitch with it's interesting conversations, publishing gossip, and overall awesome randomness.
  7. I didn't separate much from the computer.
Will I rectify any of this stuff in 2013? I hope so, but I'm not going to make any for sure resolutions because when I do I wind up failing. So I'm going to be conscious of my mistakes last year and slowly work to turn them around while making time for what I love and living in the world just a little bit more. What are some of your regrets, solutions, or overall things you'd like to do differently this year? Comment to win a copy of my BDSM novella, Sextionary and to also enter the grand prize of which are a $100 gift card to EdenFantasys and a digital gift basket of 10 erotica books.

  4. I to was made Twitter's bitch in 2012. Now I'm a gonner. I want to get my Review blog going strong in 2013. I love to read and write reviews. I used to contribute to other blogs, but they only posted my good reviews and never the ones for books I hated. I think you should post both good and bad. So, anyway, that is my hope for 2013.

  8. All of these are great resolutions. Although I'm never one to make weight resolutions, only because I immediately rebel and pick up the most carb filled thing I can find. But I NEED to read more books this year. And I want to double my word count.

  21. My regret for 2012 was signing up for four online classes that were at the same time. That was a waste of my time and my money. Lesson learned. thanks for being in the Naughty Blog Hop.

  36. I like the thought of determining what I'd like to change from last year to this, rather than resolutions! I resolved to be more organized, which definitely is a reflection on the past year. I think I'd also like to do more cooking, as it's both something I really enjoy and healthier than the fast food I so often rely.

  37. Wow. Your list of sins is eerily like mine...
    Eating healthy is my number one priority but I'm breaking it up into manageable goals. This month, I'm eating something green with EVERY meal & eating kale at least once a day. Supposedly, if I successfully gag it down for 2-3 weeks, I'll learn to love it. Hmm. This month kale, next month brussel sprouts (sans the pound of butter needed to make them palatable).

    Happy New Year and good luck with your goals.

  39. Thanks for doing the hop!! Mine are not so much regrets...but I read way too much erotic...is there such a thing? I just mean I fell off with the variety! I need to mix it up more this year and catch up on some of the mainstream reading I have sitting around!
