D I S C U S S I O N  Q U E S T I O N S :
Did you make any reading or writing goals for 2017 and how did you do on them?
If you did, were there any surprises? Did you do unexpectedly well on some goals and not as well on others?
How do you determine how you did on your goals or resolutions? Do you give yourself a grade or a % completed or a checkmark??
