Happy 2015!
Last year, I posted a list of my writing resolutions I
wanted to accomplish, and I was able to not only complete each one, I also
accomplished more than I expected. I
attribute a lot of that to you, and the support you gave me.
This year, I’m going to try and push myself even more.
First and foremost, since it is a new year, I’ve been experimenting
with rearranging. Saturday, I had our
neighbor come over and we rearranged our front room. (You know you have a nice neighbor when he’s
willing to move a piano on a night of relaxing.
So I’m going to be playing around with some of the way that the blog
looks. Not a whole lot, but hopefully it
makes it a little easier to navigate.
Other than that, here’s my list for this next year.
1.
Focus on publishing.
Unfortunately, I have the personality that will edit and
revise a work to death because I know that no matter where I stop, there will
still be something more I can change. My
husband and I have a deal though, he applies for internships, I send out
queries. I think right now, I’m going to
say start with 5 a month. That should be
pretty doable.
2.
Participate (and win!) both Camp NaNoWriMos and
the regular NaNoWriMo.
I can’t believe I didn’t add that to my list last year. I was able to participate as the ML, which
was awesome. We’ve even come up with
some fun games for our group to play during Camp NaNoWriMo (namely a writing
group version of Werewolf. Yes, be
jealous.)
3.
Read 52 books in the year 2015.
Reading helps me write in more ways than I can count. Seeing how others do it – what makes sense,
what doesn’t, it teaches me more than just straight writing. And I’ve seen that when I critique and read
for others working to publish, I learn even more when giving advice.
That’s it. Nothing
specific about any of the WIPs, because I can’t foresee how this year is going
to go. But I’m going to make sure that I’m
writing. That’s the biggest thing.
What are your goals for this next year?
