I don't do resolutions. In fact, I pretty much stopped with the whole goal-setting for the new year thing a few January 1sts ago. But, this morning I was inspired. (You know who you are.)
Anyway, following this inspiration, I figured I probably ought to write some of these 2012 goals down.
1) Finish Djinn 2
2) Polish Djinnocide
2a) Put together submission materials so I can...
2b) Send this sucker out
3) Edit at least one other forgotten book (you know - one I wrote but never edited like Nano or UEQ)
4) Edit Djinn 2 (just in case Djinnocide sells or something)
5) Read at least as many books this year as last year (the count was 90 in 2011 - more on that tomorrow)
Those five ought to keep me busy - the first four at least for the next six months. I have trouble thinking beyond that. (Thank goodness my husband doesn't or we'd be in debt up to our eyeballs with a savings balance of ZERO.) Of course, I have other things I need to do. Some of them will get done. Others will be forgotten and end up on this list another year. (Like my never-ending goal of losing weight.)
What are a few goals you have for 2012? Think you'll get them done, or will they end up on your list again next year?
B.E., I hope you achieve all your goals! I have a few too, but at the moment, I just want to get my revision done.
ReplyDeleteGreat resolutions, B.E. - and I love that you're moving forward with Djinnocide ('cause it really is fabulous and needs to find a home).
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your book tally! I need to get back to reading on a regular basis.
Posted my 2012 Word today - very excited!!
Those sound like excellent goals, m'dear! Mine will be up on my blog sometime this week. I know I scheduled it in there somewhere... Perhaps I should go see when that'll post, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThose are perfect goals. You can so do them too! I love Djinnocide's name, btw. That is too good.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of goals!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of setting half-year goals. I may have to revisit the ones on my blog, lol.
Yay, goals! I find mine often get shifted around, and new ones crop up, and some things get moved to next year. But, I'm cool with them being fluid :) Oh, and read more - I definitely need to do that. I find very little time for it with writing and blogging and tweeting and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteExcellent goals, my friend!
ReplyDeleteReally, for this year, I just want to relax more and actually enjoy life - and that includes everything writing related. I would like to write a new book. I would like to laugh more. I would like to be less stressed.
Happy new year! Wishing you all good things for 2012! Hugs.
Thanks, Andrea. Good luck with that revision.
ReplyDeleteI can't not push with Djinnocide. I've put too much into it to give up now. Thanks, Janet. If you need any book suggestions, let me know. =o)
Thanks, Nat. I can't wait to see your goals now that you're through with school. =o)
I tried to keep them small, Colene, so I could actually finish them and not be crushed by failure. Thanks. I can't wait to see it in print. (If a publisher actually lets me keep the title.)
LOL, JB. We can commit to half-year goals and then compare notes in June.
I definitely need fluidity, Alexia. Too rigid and I come up against that whole crushed by failure thing.
Thanks, Jennifer! I think relaxing and enjoying is an awesome goal for you. Last year was probably pretty hectic. Here's to a more calm - but still kick ass - year for you.
