Goals for 2010

[nolawitch58]

For the upcoming year, I'm only going to post my writing goals. The others are less interesting and seem to get done without much ado.

WRITING GOALS
01. Send Ruxandra through focus group.
02. Send Ruxandra back through Realms of Fiction group.
03. Write a great query letter.
04. Tweak the proposal until it's perfect.
05. Finish second draft of Ruxandra.
06. Obtain an agent.
07. Outline next non-fiction book.
08. Research non-fiction book.
09. Work on fictional memoir.
10. Submit one of my vampire short stories until it gets published.

Ten goals should be enough to bite off for one year. I think I need to do a weekly update on progress just to keep myself on track for accomplishment and for easier correction when I go off the rails.

04. Tweak the proposal until it's perfect.

so you never finish the proposal :)

10. Submit one of my vampire short stories until it gets published.

I'll abandon work on it at some point and consider it finished. We'll see if I can find a magazine or something that will publish my vampire stuff.

best of luck with all of that!

Did you get any nibbles on the ethics book yet?

[nolawitch.livejournal.com]

No. I got two rejections. The packages went out right at the beginning of the economic downturn. That's worse than mercury being retrograde. There are two items my future agent will have to peddle.

That's too bad. I *like* that book!
