Happy New Year! Awesome goals, that screenplay bit looks especially challenging, but also fun.
My goals? Becoming an agented, published author comes first! Haven’t thought about much else in the writing regard. Maybe start another WIP? I have the hardest time starting something new and tearing myself away from my current project, even if it is on query.
And of course there’s the obligatory weight loss wish. 🙂

Yes! Start another WIP. Even if it’s hard to get into, it’ll be worth the effort, and you’ll have a better perspective on the piece already at market when the inevitable revision comes around–hopefully at an editor’s direction! Best of luck with your goals in 2011.

I’m discovering that my forte seems to be as essayist. So my goal for 2011 is to write a piece that in the 22nd Century will be bowdlerized by some fringe group.

A worthy goal indeed! Best of luck with it! 🙂
