My writing resolution was to simply put less pressure on myself to write "a thing" and to spend more time just writing. So far it is going well. Whether I want to write something that is only 3 paragraphs or 30 pages, I'm giving myself that freedom.
I wrote a cyber-punk short that ended up only being a few pages with a time-skip in the middle because I couldn't figure out how write the middle part. Then I decided "it's cyber-punk, everyone knows how the middle goes" and wrote the last bits instead. Not something that would be published but always trying to write something that would be publish-able is what stopped me from writing in the first place.
