If you listen to all the doom criers 2012 is supposed to be the end of time. I’m taking the optimistic view that life as we know will continue by putting my writing goals out there for all to see. 

  • Publish Ravening: I stopped working on my novel when I took on a nonfiction project. Ravening will be available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords in June 2012.
  • Complete 2nd Novel: I’m nervous about this one, but if I keep to my schedule. I should be able to get through a first and second draft.
  • Weekly Blog Posts: that’s a tough one. I know, that’s pretty ambitious for someone who struggles with once a month. Aim high I always say.
  • Publish 101 Acting Questions, Answered!: That’s my non-fiction book project. It’s in the second draft stage now and I can see the end in sight.
  • The Knitter’s Life List Project: I got the book, The Knitter’s Life List, by Gwen W. Steege, for Christmas. The book is a wonderful collection of suggestions of skills knitters can acquire over a lifetime of knitting compiled in one place. Ms. Steege’s lists inspired me so much that I’m going to do one item each week of the year. I’ll really build my knitting skills and have a lot of fun along the way.
  • Publish 12 Short Stories: I didn’t succeed at this goal last year. I’m going to try it again. Last year I planned on getting 6 stories out because I started late and I actually did 2. I think I’m a little better organized for task this year. I’m ready in 2012.
  • Start a Website: I’m really excited about getting a website going I’m working on ideas for my content already. The site will be part of the foundation of my platform.
  • Enter 2 Writing Competitions: Contest season is gearing up and I’m looking to find two competitions that are appropriate for what I write. More platform building for me.
  • Attend 1 Local Writer’s Conference: I want to meet my peers and introduce myself to the writing community.
 
That’s my plan for 2012. I'd love to hear about your plans for 2012. Cheers!
