Hope You're Not Sick of Goals Yet

I KNOW I just posted - and discussed - my goals for 2011 but that doesn't mean I don't have short-term goals as well. And since I set goals in December, I figure I might as well report on how I did, and tell you what my January ones are.

As usual - here are the goals I set for December:

1.  Keep up with fixes on my Ailing Body, Nourished Soul edit, with the hope of having it ready to submit to the agent's assistant as soon as humanly possible
2. Submit the first 25 pages of Handmaiden to a Princess to the Great Expectations contest.
3. Add 5,000 words to Handmaiden to a Princess
4. Three blog posts minimum a week
5. Enter the FaithWriters' Writing Challenge in December

I am pleased to announce that I accomplished all but ONE of these goals. Still waiting on my final FINAL edit for Ailing Body, Nourished Soul, but I have it on good authority this COULD be the week I either get it back or have HUGE progress. I also submitted to Great Expectations, entered the Challenge (gasp!), and blogged about four times a week on average. As far as words? Well, I'm gonna be honest. I wrote EIGHTY FOUR. Better than nothing (but not by much, eh?? LOL)

ANYhow - on to the new month - okay??

My goals for January 2011

1. Keep up on Ailing Body, Nourished Soul and if at all possible, get it to the agent's assistant
2. Either enter, or be prepared to enter, the ACFW Genesis contest with Handmaiden to a Princess (deadline is in March)
3. Three blog posts minimum a week
4. Write 5k more in Handmaiden to a Princess
5. Enter an idea or two in the Peculiar People Orphan Plane project (I highlighted this project a couple of months ago here) 

So there ya go :) I'll also be reporting briefly on any progress I've made on my 2011 goals, but since I just made them two days ago, there's nothing to report yet. Tomorrow IS my  technology fast day for the month, though. We'll see how it goes!

Thanks for reading, and blessings to you!
