REVISING THE GOALS

While I don't plan to post this often on a regular basis, this week has been very busy when it comes to goals. Yesterday, I received word that I need to change my 2009 goals, because my agent is retiring.

So here's the new list:

Finish current WIP

Revamp website/blog

Series of articles for dayjob newsletter

Package the short articles to market & sell to other companies for their newsletters

Annual MLK Weekend Writing Retreat

Writing "Self-Improvement" program, probably something SARK

Meet with critique group 2x per month

Local RWA chapter:

  • Continue Loops & Links (for the main loop)
  • Operations Manual Chair
  • Monthly article explaining P&P
  • June speaker: The Process of Submitting

Search for new agent

  • Define what I want
  • Define what I write
  • Research & develop a list
  • Begin submitting once current WIP is ready

And, of course, all of this revises my action plan for the month, too.

WRITING GOALS

  • finish DESK DIVA on positive thinking
  • print revised RTMM in time for MLK DONE!
  • Annual MLK writing retreat

  • crit on 1/8 and 1/22 1/8 cancelled due to weather
  • Participate in January BIAW
