Everyone else is making their resolutions, so I’ll introduce you to some of mine. Other than the old standards of “lose weight” and “stop biting fingernails” and the new addition of “get a job”, the rest of writing-related.
- Finish Lionheart draft by end of March.
- Finish The Circled Green draft by end of September.
- Write 20 000 more words for the Bones draft
- (In order to complete the previous goals) write a minimum of 10 000 words a month.
So yeah, those are the goals. The first 50 000 words of Lionheart are already with the beta, so she can get a good going on it while I write the last 20 to 30 000 words. The big elusive goal is “get Lionheart into shape so I can query it”, and given the encouragement I have received, I hope that will a) happen and b) lead to something more.
I’d cross my fingers, but I can’t type like that.
Good luck! You can do it!
How about something like… “Get published so Aisling can read these books finally.” That seems like a realistic goal!
I agree with Aisling!
I’ve had the privilege of reading the first chapter of Blood Bound (because you are awesome 
), and I want more! *fidgets impatiently*
Good luck with your goals! I want to get some serious writing done this year, too. I didn’t really do much last year, so I want to make up for it in 2010.
Have a great (and productive) year, Catherine!
Good luck with all your goals! I like the deadline approach; it breaks everything into manageable chunks. =)
I so better get an egalley
