Okay, National Novel Writer’s month is now over. Time to get
on with life, and catch up on the things that went by the wayside while I was
frantically writing all those words, and I did a lot better than I thought I
could!
I’m proud of myself for that but now is the time to think up
some goals for the coming year, and maybe even set some deadlines to get them
done. And it wouldn’t hurt if I could figure out how to do them without letting
the chores go for a month. 😊
I have a niece, who is also a writer and she’s set the goal
to publish six of her books this coming year. A goal I find rather ambitious
even though most of those are already written and it isn’t like she has to find
a publisher willing to take a risk on her, she self-publishes, but I doubt I
could manage that kind of output in a year and unlike her, I don’t work!
Then again, I’m a slow typist. I’ve mentioned this before. I
can’t win a word war – wait, I actually won one this year. Shocked me – shocked
everyone. I usually don’t unless it’s against Konnie, and I suspect she had a
lot of interruptions on her end while we were writing. She usually does.
Anyway, setting writing goals is a good idea and I’ve been
thinking about some goals I could set, not just in writing but in life in
general. Now I just have to set what the goal will be and how I would achieve
it. Though I already know my writing goal is to get my manuscript Forbidden
Connection ready to shop out to publishers and I’ve already started on that one,
its with the editor right now.
Next, I have to work on the synopsis and the query and research
the best agents and publishers for it.
Okay, I have a lot to do this coming year.
How about you? What kind of goals are you planning for this
coming year?
Happy writing everyone! 😊
