This Year's Goals
I am bad about keeping up w/ my blog(s) but that doesn't mean I haven't been productive. Since January 1st I have written 12000 words (and haven't even gotten to my goal words for today). I am *thisclose* to finishing up a book I need to send to my editor for consideration (fingers crossed). I am 2/3 rds through the sequel to the book that I am pitching to agents (again fingers crossed).

So again at the January YR meeting we set our 2010 goals. Mine are as follows:
-- Write every week ... honest and true I write every day--haven't missed one since September--knockwood--but there's less pressure for weekly than daily, if I miss I don't have to beat myself up.

-- Get an agent ... self-explanatory

-- Sell to NY ... again, need I explain?!?!

-- Avoid umbrellas ... this is an inside joke. One gal, when I "don't get" her story, has waved an umbrella--among other things--at me :lol:

-- Get an office space ... I don't *need* one. I just really, really want one. I mean, do I really need to pay for space when I am home alone during the day... but I WANT it! A fellow writer gal has one and I am pea-green w/ envy :mrgreen:
I figure those are decent goals. They are attainable, though the second and third are as much dependent on someone else as my effort. A not so attainable is the cabana boy. Still on my list, yet well.... I have to have something crazy put there or what's the fun!

So here's to 2010 and productive writing. Write on People!
