Matt Cheney, the astute and charming proprietor of litblog The Mumpsimus, is running a contest to give away a free copy of Rangergirl he mysteriously acquired. Here are the terms of the contest:

The New Year's Resolution Contest

In the comments section to this post, leave an interesting, imaginative, and/or bizarre new year's resolution. The most interesting, imaginative, and/or bizarre resolution, in the judgment of Tim Pratt, will win its creator a copy of The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl. (Please be sure to leave your email address in the comment, unless you know I already know how to get in touch with you.)

This contest will end on Sunday, January 8 at 8pm Eastern Standard Time, when judging will commence. The decisions of the judge are entirely subjective and binding. You are not required to believe either in the new year or the concept of resolutions to play.

This is particularly appropriate, as I am a big fan of year-end-rituals and new-year's-resolutions. So go forth, and resolve!

And don't leave your resolutions here. Go over to the Mumpsimus and leave them.
