I’ve been mulling this over long enough. I need to put something on “paper.” Here’s my 2006 goals for personal and writing.
Personal
- Successfully transition to a vegetarian (eventually getting to vegan) diet
- Challenge myself fitness-wise to improve overall fitness level (I have no problem working out regularly; I just don’t feel as if I’m deriving much benefit from it)
- Read more books than last year (watch the reading list to track progress)
- Keep duty performance high at work–keep the boss happy
- Even though we’re 800 miles apart, find ways to keep engaged with hubby
- Keep finding ways to get rid of excess “stuff” around the house
Writing
- Continue “on-the-fly” rewriting of Threads & Ties, then finish writing
- Rewrite Twilight incorporating planned changes and what I learn from Threads & Ties
- Rewrite Polar Bear on the Loose, incorporating what I’ve learned from the previous two efforts
- Brainstorm and plan my NaNoWriMo novel
- Draft query letters
- Scrub synopses
- Research agents in anticipation of querying after the first three goals are met
