I made this list up on the Chica blog. Maybe if I post it for the world to see the accountability will be a little higher (ask me in 6 months and we’ll see!)
I had a few more written down, but um, I seem to have misplaced my notebook . . .
~ Finish two books. (I have well over 20 open WIPs to choose from so it’s not like I have a lack of ideas to choose from)
~ Submit two finished books (they kinda go hand-in-hand w/ #1 goal, y’know)
~ Start and finish a new book from start to finish (but not until I have finished the afore mentioned two books)
~ Submit brand spanking new book (you see the pattern here right, this is supposed to be how it works–rather than staring the WIP and making 42 save copies of it and stopping around page 90 and thinking it’s crappy and watching a week of Lifetime and finishing two quarts of Chunky Monkey to appease the pain and doubt . . . . wheshew . . . . I guess I needed to get that off my chest!)
~ Look for an agent (I won’t be so bold as to put find an agent–a lot depends on that other person too)
~ Write every week (I know me, every day ain’t gonna happen–but if I do better, like two three days a week, I will have gotten so much more done!)
