1_million_wordsHappy Holidays across the board to you, 1MWers! As is a custom of the end of the year, it's time to start thinking about those New Year's Resolutions. Apparently most of them last about two weeks, on average... I have bucked this average, personally, by simply resolving to mot make resolutions. Works pretty well.
THAT SAID... sometimes a success or failure of a resolution is just what your story might need. So I've found a list of 60 resolutions that may or may not help you find a way out of ~that~ scene.. or cause an entirely new problem. Who knows!
Some of these are a little specific.. but feel free to adjust them into whatever form works for your 'verse of choice (ie Merlin probably wouldn't attend a yoga class.. but an AU Merlin might? I never saw it, so I don't really know. :D)
Business as usual - 1-60 or random, as few or as many as you want - I'm not going to police you so take the time you need and if you finish something I will send you cyber cookies! If you don't, I'll send the cookies anyway!
And all the best wishes for you as 24 ends and 25 begins. YOU GOT THIS ♥

“Just pick one.” The smile was undeterred.
“Can’t you just tell me what habit you’d like me to cultivate? Wouldn’t that be easier?”
“It’s not about your habits. It’s about team building. Randomly picking a resolution and helping each other stick to it. That way it’s not any specific thing that someone will feel singled out for, but a group team effort that we can all cheer each other on about.” She pushed the hat at him a little more.
He sighed, deeply, but reached in. He picked a folded scrap of yellow paper, opened it and read aloud. “Cut back on drinking alcohol. Isn’t this more for someone like Paul?”
“Paul is going to try to be healthier in his habits!” She practically beamed.
“What did you get?” He still wasn’t mentally committing to the resolution.
“I’m going to try to be an early bird!” She said it with great joy, like it was a thing she actually found lacking in her life.
He was not a fan of morning people. “I don’t drink.”
“At all?” Somehow this seemed daunting to her.
“Champagne at weddings. One beer on league night.” He didn’t like being drunk.
Her eyes finally turned wary, like she could see he was a control freak in just eight words.
Benson piped up from the next cubicle. “I got call your parents more. We’re all going to Smitty’s at 5 to get loaded and then I’m going to call Debbie. Come with us, have enough to call an uber, and then next week you’ll be technically drinking less.” Benson stood up slapped his cubical neighbor on the shoulder and walked away leaving them alone.
She paid close attention to the Amazon box in her hands as she closed it. “I could be your designated driver tonight if you’d like?” She offered. Then added without looking up. “And you could wake me up early in the morning.”
Okay, sure. Maybe resolutions could be a good thing.
