My Writing Goals for 2009
One thing I like to do is let everyone know within shouting
distance (viewing distance, in this case) my writing goals for the year. We shared our lists last night at the Scribes'
Tribe's first meeting of the year (my critique group), and we're placing them in our record book so that we can periodically
take them out and see how we're doing. I need all the help I can get keeping my goals on track!
Here are mine:
1) Finish editing my novel and send it out--NO EXCUSES! (No, that's not the title of my novel.)
2)
Take the Poem-A-Day challenge again this year in April.
3) Publish 3 articles in magazines.
4) Write 3 short stories.
5) Send out 52 submissions this year--that's one per week!
6) Find a home for my short story collection.
If you're reading this post and want to share your writing
goals for 2009, I'd be glad to publish them in this blog. You can send them to me at amy@thewritehelper.com .
Let's keep each other motivated!

Happy New Writing Year!I'm hoping it's going to be a happy new writing year, anyway!
I'm anxious to actually do more writing this year than last, although I'm ready to read and edit some terrific manuscripts,
just like last year. See our editing page if you're interested. And check out our contest page for opportunities to enter
your work and receive a free critique and possibly win.
Fellow writers, dust off the goal list from last year,
add a bit of motivation, and let's get the job done in 2009!
