A New Year
I am not going to make any resolutions. Or ask you about yours. I have no luck with the New Year listing of changes that will be made during the coming year.
Now, goals. Those I will do. I like the concept of a big goal. Then I can make a list of the things that need to be done to accomplish that goal.  I’m a master listmaker. I always have a list on my desk of things to accomplish by the end of the day or the end of the week. I love crossing something off: mail revisions to editor and feel a major sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when a list is complete.
I also know that my life won’t be blighted if I have to move something to the next day on the list. Life gets in the way sometimes or an item on the list may take longer than I expected. My goal is to complete the list during the time period I’ve allotted; my reality is that it’s okay if sometimes, I don’t.
So, my goal for this year is to be a stronger and more productive writer. I want to see more of my materials submitted and published. For the first quarter, my list of activities includes: Write at least 3 blogs a week; complete two proposals for Everlasting Love; submit a dozen children stories to appropriate markets; write a minimum of one hour each day, five days a week.
Where are you going this year?
