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.
Great resolutions, B.E. - and I love that you're moving forward with Djinnocide ('cause it really is fabulous and needs to find a home).
I 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!
Those are perfect goals. You can so do them too! I love Djinnocide's name, btw. That is too good.
Great list of goals!
I 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.
Excellent goals, my friend!
Really, 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.
I 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.
