New Year's Writing Resolutions

I prefer to call my New Year's Resolutions "Goals". Somehow it feels more like something to work toward. With that in mind, I made several goals for the new year. 

The first is this blog. I plan to blog more. Information about my writing, my novels, my travels, about me on this crazy writing journey. So, be sure to check back for more insight into my writing world.

Another goal is that I'll finish my new novel, SABOTAGED, by April 15th. Just the crappy first draft. I have until July to finish the edits on it and have it ready to start submitting. 

I also plan to register for the RWA National Conference to be held in Washington, DC in July. 

I have to stay organized and focused to accomplish these goals along with the freelance writing I do. (Check out my freelance website at http://www.thotinfo.com). That's perhaps the most important goal of all. 

What goals do you have for the new year?

Hi, Susan! I'm so excited you'll be in DC! We MUST get together.

My goals are various, but the biggest is to work smarter, not harder. Very vague, but I have a tendency to do more than I need and waste too much time in the process. So I'm finding ways to cut the waste (including discipline on the Internet, which is going okay, not fabulous). :)

Looking forward to DC! I can't believe we'll get together after, um, 25 years. Wow.

I like working smarter, not harder. That's exactly the way to think about it. I reorganized my office today - thinking smarter, I guess. :-)

Oh wow, I guess it has been that long, huh? Amazing.

You're ahead of me on the reorganizing! Good for you. Maybe I'll get around to it someday. *g*
