And so now we've come to the last official post of my first full year blogging! I had so much fun doing this and I hope that you guys did too and that maybe you learned something you didn't know before.
I met two of the three goals I had for 2010 and I think that's pretty darned good! In case you were wondering, my goals were to write 2 books, acquire an agent, and to have a publishing contract. Well, I wrote 2 books, started 2 others, finished a short story, and, of course, found my perfect agent. Came pretty darned close to having a publishing contract, so...I guess it's really 2 1/2 out of 3 goals. :D
This year I have some more writerly goals and I've decided to share them in the hopes it'll help me get them in the coming year!
1) I want to write 3 books (finishing books from last year is fine) and 2 short stories
2) I want to have one short story accepted somewhere
3) I want to have a publishing contract
4) I want to attend at least 1 writer's conference.
As you can see, I've upped the ante a bit there from what I accomplished this year. I think it can be done. Though, arguably 2 of those goals are out of my hands. So, those are the ones that I'm most worried about.
So, let's hear it. What are your goals this year?
And to sweeten the pot, I'm holding one last contest. But, I'm doing it different. As always! YOU get to pick the prize. Sorta. It's a book prize, not like a car or something. :D Just comment below with a goal and what book you want and I'll choose a random winner. It is open internationally. And, yes, you do need to be a follower of the blog, but that's easy. Just click over to the left and become a follower. :)
That being said, I hope you have a very happy new year!!
