Back on Track

A couple of weeks ago, I blathered on and on about goals.

I set mine.

Did you?

Here are my 2010 goals, and remember everything is subject to change:

• Write middle grade story FAST AND THE FAERIEOUS, synopsis and query
• Plot out middle grade book #3, synopsis and query
• Plot and write THE DEMON CONNECTION, synopsis and query
• Judge three unpublished writing contests (online only), plus Golden Heart
• Crit when needed
• Return to healthy lifestyle, eat smaller portions, eat healthier, and workout 3-5X per week (Wii Fit, jogging, or SKY health club)
• Use online calendar to record Tarot draw, reading/writing goals
• Attend at least one conference
• Have fun with kidlet over summer break (writing is icing)
Wrote SUGAR PLUM DISASTER for blog serial—5241 words—finished 1/1/09 Check it out! It starts on 12/21/09. Enjoy!
• Read 50 books (keep log at bottom of goals) --One down

--Oh, I also have to get the first 10 pages of DC ready for a crit that I won on Candace Haven's blog. I need to finish that in the next day or two.

And I have personal goals along with writing goals to provide balance in my life.

Remember any writing is good, so to that end I joined a 100 X 100 goals group. Write at least 100 words for 100 days. I started on January 1 and almost forgot Sunday, but remembered in time. Blogs, comments on facebook, or emails do not count. It has to be real writing or 30 minutes of revision. During the week this is no problem, but the weekend it will be so I need to get it out of the way early in the day.

*raising my champagne flute* Here's to a healthy and happy New Year!

Did everyone eat their black-eyed peas and collard greens? I did.

Write on!

  1. I confess that when I read blogs, I have a tendency to read fast/scan at times. As I was reading yours, I got down to the healthy life style ans SKY health club as Sky Diving. BRAWAHAHAHA I had to go back and read a lot closer because I KNEW Margaret Golla wasn't taking up SKY DIVING.

    Good Goals. Haven't done mine yet. Sigh. Guess I need to be busy

  2. LOL! Who know, Cyndi? I might just surprise you and jump out of a plane someday--I just hope a parachute is attached. :-)
