New Year, New Goals

I hesitate to say resolutions because those seem to carry a negative connotation for most. But goals, I love those. They are my friend, especially as a writer. I promised myself I would check in with last year's goals to see how I did, and to help me set new ones. Here we go:

2015: #1 Work out harder, more often. Planned weekly regiment with activity on the weekend as well!
Results: I did good, working out four days a week at minimum, usually five. Dropped a bit of weight, feel a lot better.
2016 Resolution: Kick it up a notch to get even more healthy.

2015: #2 Write three more this year. Get them to my agents, sell them, hopefully this year as well.
Results: I did good. I wrote two more novels and got them in my agents hands. The last part, I cannot say yet. :)
2016 Resolution: Write three more this year. Get them to my agents, sell them, hopefully this year as well. It's a good goal, I figure why mess with it?

2015: #3 Get my manuscripts that are written highly polished along with the help of my agents, and sell them to great houses!
Results: Got the two I wrote in 2015 highly polished and off to my agents.

2015: #4 Keep up connecting with my friends. Meet and interact with more amazing new people.
Results: Excellent! I met so many great new people in 2015 and am beyond excited to know them.
2016 Resolution: Expand my horizons to connect with people in different places and groups.

2016 Resolution: Connect with more industry people, get to know the industry better by attending more retreats/conferences and meeting people in person.

What about you? Do you set goals/resolutions? What is your biggest goal you'd like to accomplish this year?

  1. A very small goal for me: to make my latest Opus America's Great Historical Fantasy ... hey, even if I only have make it, then it will at least sell, right? Oh, and to finish by middle March. No pressure or anything. :-) May 2016 be all you wish it to be! Roland

    1. That's right! Positive thinking is half the battle. Maybe more than half.

  4. Congrats on accomplishing your goals! This may be a bit up there but my goals are to revise one novel and write four new novels. Good luck to you!
