2009 Goals

Reading for pleasure: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Reading for school: Lacan (still working on it!)
Writing/editing work: WIP novel

I don't make resolutions for New Year's; however, I do contemplate what I would like to happen in the year ahead or what I am going to try to achieve in this year. Here's the list (which is always changing as things change/happen):

1. Finish my novel edit
2. Find an agent
2. a. If that doesn't happen, find a publisher
3. Get to Japan/Scotland (depends on my exchange application)
3. a. If that doesn't happen, apply to the creative writing class at the university again
4. Get more short stories published (working on this)
5. Get poems published
6. Read more
7. Write more
8. Take good care of my health.

We'll see how that goes. More will be added and others will be taken off as they occur. The nice thing about these goals is that most of them are within my control; I can write well enough to get published; I can read more and write more and take good care of my health. The other ones are more subjective...But I'm an English major. I'm used to subjective.
