My 2008 resolutions are all about increasing my speed of life. What is that you ask? Well to me it is the pace by which I accomplish my goals. Anyone who knows me, knows I am always doing something. 2008 will not be about doing faster, only about doing smarter.
With that in mind I do have a goal list for the year. Actually I have two (professional and person) but the personal one isn't for general consumption, lol. So I'll share some of my writing goals here.
1. Rather than wander around in my various stories, I will narrow my focus to priority projects. By controlling my ADD better I intend to complete 3 novels and 10 novellas in 2008.
2. Although I love my current publishers, in 2008 I plan to branch out to include 2 or more new publishing houses. I have three small press that I currently have work targeted for and I will get back to submitting my mainstream novels to NY publishers.
3. In the area of promotion... I have several ideas for 2008 including a massive rehaul of my website.
4. Finances go up and down with book sales and although I have been doing ok, I hope to supplement my royalty money with a little steady cash money. This goal has pretty much already been met as I will be helping Cobblestone Press with book distributions beginning tomorrow. :)
I do have a few other little things on my to-do list, but these 4 are my big ones. And I post them here in the cyberspace world as a reminder to help me stay on track.
May your new year be as wonderful and productive as I hope mine to be.
Shannon
