I'm a goal setter by nature, so I enjoy the chance each new year to look at what I've accomplished in the past twelve months and think about where I'd like to be with my writing in the next twelve. I've learned not to be too rigid with my writing goals: I don't know what I don't know, after all, and I may need to correct my direction if new ideas or information arrives midcourse.
First thing in January is traditional for review and goal setting, but it usually takes me until February to really get a sense of what I want for the year.
This year I have a book with an agent, trying to find its home; another that's going to be re-released in a second edition; and a third in revision. I sat down this week and envisioned what I wanted from each this year.
