| Woo! Happy twenty-ten, all! I have a lot of resolutions, actually...but I'll hit the highlights: * Keep learning. In school, about writing, about...well, everything! * Exercise every day. * Work on new short stories & submit to magazines. * Finish revising tSotD and start querying again. * Manage my time between blogging and Internet, schoolwork, chores, and life in general. * Etc... | |

| Great idea for a thread! For me: 1) 10 pages a week 2) Read fiction like the dickens (excuse the pun) 3) Work in writing exercises and other "fun" activities, like research 4) Stick with it Happy 2010 everyone! | |

| Finish short story by March (it's halfway done, but since I work from 10 to 10 on a good day, it'll take a while).
Finish novel by December.
Update blog every week. Read other blogs once a week at least. | |

| Finish first draft of WIP.
This is my number one priority, but I'm really going to have to put my nose to the grindstone if I have any chance of getting that done. My life has gotten so crazy this past year that I'm having a hard time getting more than a couple of sentences written at a time. I want so much to be able to finish this draft and life keeps getting in the way and it's stressing me out. I need to set some scheduled writing times and let the rest of the world go on without me during those times, though that's often far easier said than done. | |

| Very belatedly.... I only have one: to get my WIP finished by the end of the summer - say, by end September 2010. I was 41k in at the turn of the year - now 47k - with a target of 110-120k. It's quite a big ask, but I'm determined! | |
