It's 2010
10 Things I want to do this year:
Keep track of the number of books I read, be sure to read a wide array of fiction in my genre and out and non fiction.
I want to use this year as a bench mark before I try to set yearly book challenges for myself.
Submit at least 5 short stories for publication.
I know 5 is not many, but I want to put a considerable amount of work into my novel as well, and potentially a squeal.
Submit my novel to Agents, get picked up by one.
Make time to go to my Local Writers Groups
Organize my desk.
Don't laugh. I need to create some kind of order so I can be more productive. This may require buying a new desk :)
Clean the clutter out of my place
No more old junk I haven't touched since my last two moves!
Make and sell jewlery again
Learn how to make one fancy, knock out dessert for special occasions
Identify things that make me happy and keep them close to me
Take a Real Vacation
