Hello, 2010!

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's 2010? I can't. While in high school, I was certain this crazy world would implode by 2000. But here we are, and I have to say I'm really looking forward to the next 12 months.

So what's a girl to do with so much optimism? She lists out her 2010 goals.

1. Land an agent
2. Finish editing A Lady’s Revenge by January 31
3. Seek Beta reads for ALR from CPs by February
4. Resubmit ALR to interested agents by March
5. Participate in the GIAM 100 x 100 program, beginning January 1
6. Participate in the February GIAM Tour de Force
7. Develop 2011 RWA workshop with RU blogmates by August
8. Finish Book 1 of Victorian-set series by April 30; finish edits by June 30; Begin querying by July 15; Enter in Golden Heart
9. Attend Margie Lawson’s Immersion class (May)
10. Attend Spring Fling conference (April)
11. Attend RWA National conference (July)
12. Post one entry a week on personal blog
13. Read one book a month for pleasure
14. Read one craft book a month for development

Now, I know my #1 goal is not completely within my control. But I can work hard to achieve it. Having the goal on paper keeps me motivated and focused.
