This year, my goal is to complete a project from start to finish. I've been outlining (something I don't normally do). I'm hoping to be ready to dive into the rough draft by the first of February.

I hope you had a restful break. :) As far as goals, I would definitely like to be more organized, too, but since I feel like I'm usually in survival mode at this stage of my life, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. :) So, short answer: no earth-moving goals for this year. I'm just going to keep plugging away. <br /><br />Happy New Year!A.L.

I have just general goals--read more, write more, exercise more, do artwork and play the piano more. And get a publisher, which isn't even in my control.

Usually they are in the categories of spiritual, physical, mental, intellectual, and etc. My writing goal this year is to write 500 words a day and stick to it. It's doable if I make it the first priority of the day. All other writing I get done is just gravy after that.<br /><br />P.S. Want more Jedda? lolJackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413062903651514093.post-40947226676708842672012-01-11T03:43:06.747-06:002012-01-11T03:43:06.747-06:00These are great goals.
