My 2007 Goals were vague and lazy, so no wonder I didn’t accomplish squat.

My Goals for 2008:

Polish Thousand Dollar Pharaoh and submit it to my Cerridwen editor. If she passes, tuck it away until I’ve broken in. I finally get that there is no NY market for my historicals, so I’ll suck it up and write something different.

Revise A Town Called Night and submit it to my Cerridwen editor as a possible Ellora’s Cave Quickie. I’ve been too scared to sub steamy stuff to them, thinking it’s not good enough, and I’m an in-house author. How stupid. The worst she can do is rip it apart and R it.

Finish my mystery wip, Inappropriate.

Write the mystery that I brainstormed with my chapter mates at a workshop.

Submit both mysteries to agents.

Promote my published stuff weekly.

Participate in two book signings for Sammie Jo Moresca’s stuff.

Read six books this year, for pleasure.

Get interested in email again, without re-addicting myself.

Stop shopping at QVC. Find something free and wholesome to become addicted to instead.

Keep the house clean enough.

Spend more time with my son.

Lose ten more pounds.

Tone up a little.

Be kind and patient with strangers.

Reconnect with DH.

Travel with DD.

Spend more time with the parrot. He’s “answering” the phone now. When it rings, he says “Hello…All right…What?”

Garden and keep the weeds under control.

Tackle a few small home improvement projects.

Attend a conference in the autumn, and pitch both mysteries, which shall be completed by then.

Find the joy in the music of the Bee Gees again. Reconnect with my Bee Gee friends.

Get to know some General Hospital fans.

Spend more time with the FlyLady Clutter Buster Discussion group and the Pink Fuzzy Slipper Writers.
