Resolve

Resolve is, as you would expect, rather different to ambition, as was probably made clear in the last post. If they were the same, it would be called 'ambition', and the dictionary would be one entry shorter.

The single positive which has emerged from this week's return to the office is that I am now more determined than ever to find a way to make a living on my own terms, without having to pander to the schedule of others. Writing is probably my only way out of this, unless I suddenly re-kindle my interest in woodwork and train as a carpenter (unlikely, but you never know).

So, time to make a New Year's resolution, then. This year I will write a book and attempt to get it published.

Or make some really nice furniture...
