Beatings will continue until morale improves

And it's time once again for the Stating of the Goals.

2006 Goals

• Send out queries for Dreams.


• Finish the Tindalosi stories.


• Finish eight short stories. (Only managed 5 and a poem)


• Finish a novel.


• Sell another short story.

2007 Goals

• Finish TDC, or die trying. And I didn't die!


• Finish eight (later revised to six) short stories. (Only managed four and a poem)


• Pick the Next Book. I think I have, anyway.


• Sell another story.

2008 Goals

• Revise TDC and send out queries.


• Write a significant chunk of The Next Book--at least 50k.


• Finish novels faster--this can also be 2009's goal, given my previous speeds.


• Write more short stories--maybe I should just give up on the numbered goals. :P


• Sell another story.

I accomplished last year's non-writing-related goal, which was move out of that sad little apartment in Denton. This year's non-writing goal is to find a decent day job. Or, yanno, land a fancy agent and sell a book and not have to. :P
