I think goals need to be made and evaluated all year long. New years resolutions are kind of like saying "I'll go back to the gym and watch my diet starting on Monday, because that's the start of the week, and Thursday is too late in the week to work on goals; also, because I have a cheesecake in front of me right now, and it will take me at least 4 days to eat it all".

So your solution resonates: "I’m finishing up a new novel now (on the home stretch), so my realistic goal for this year is to at least write another novel. That’s easy enough. Could I shoot for two? " Hoping I get a reading of that novel soon. Can't wait. I love the way you point out just what messes up most of us in our goal-setting: resolving to do something over which we have no control!
