Thanks, I have also managed to start a new blog too… I like being busy!

As for predicting the number of words I have written, I cheated and used word count!

Like Water for Chocolate was one of the first books I ever read that was translated from Spanish, and it wasn’t that great for me. It was a bit too much magical realism.

Thank you! I don’t know how it never occurred to me before!

Oh, another reason this is a good plan is that New Year’s Resolutions are so sweeping — like, clean the flat every week! — that you can’t not feel bad about them. My system makes it more specific: clean your flat the week of the 25th, and then you’re all sorted out.
