One Word?

Laura Lippman has a post over at her Memory Project blog called "The Return of the One-Word Resolution Challenge." She chose one word to summarize her year's resolution. In 2008 she had STRETCH and for 2009 she's choosing VENTURE. Great words, don't you think? Of course, that's probably why she's the award-winning author and I'm not. And blasted my book about the 100 Words That Make You Sound Great isn't in at the library yet! But, I think I'd like to have a word for my 2009 blog resolutions. Stretch or venture would both be great; however, I simply can't be a copycat. That's very poor taste.

Here are some of my thoughts and you all can give me feedback on what you think. I could use CELEBRATE because I do like to celebrate the books and authors and readers. I could also use GROW because I would like my celebrations to be the cause of growth for both me and my blog this year. EXPLORE - new opportunities for the blog, new opportunities for me, new authors, new books by authors I already know, new blogs and bloggers.

What do you think about these? Do you have some other ideas for me? Please share them! I want this to be a GREAT resolution word. I'll keep it up in the right column all year to remind me of my goal all year long.

On January 12th, JEN'S BOOK THOUGHTS will celebrate ONE year of blogging. Holy Cow! Has it really been that long? So, on the 12th, I'll announce what the chosen word will be for my year number two. Let the suggestions begin....
