I can't believe it's 2008!  The kids all went back to school today and I am ready for a new year of growth as a writer.  Submitting will be the general theme of my goals for this year. To make it official I'm posting my writing goals.  Something about putting them down in writing, especially in a blog, makes them seem more real with added pressure to stick to them. 

Here they are, my writing goals for 2008:

1. Improve my typing skills! LOL

2. Treat my children's writing as a job and keep to a structured
writing schedule.

3. Create a mock up and submit my idea for a kids and teen section
for the magazine I write for.

4. Complete the ICL course

5. revise and submit my 3 PB manuscripts.

6. Revise and submit my assignmnent four NF article

7. Revise and submit my NF writing article

8. Enter 2 to 3 children's writing contests

9. revise and submit some of my poetry for children.

10. revise and submit my two craft articles.

11. revise and possibly submit my MG novel (might run into 2009, just want to be realistic here :-))

12. Participate and succeed in NaNoWriMo 2008. (I can't wait!)

13. Blog regularly even if only a short blurb. :- D

14. Read!  ( I already do lots of that though.)  

15. Attend 2 writing conferences.

Okay, that should keep me busy, at least for now. 

Happy New Year!
