Okay so I’ve recovered from the Thanksgiving holiday and now gearing up for the end of the year. With the winding down, I always reflect on my goals and the progress that I made.
I officially made 2011, a year of spaciousness. Ha, much easier said than done for sure but one thing I’m proud of is that I didn’t get stressed out about my novel progress or even worse compare myself to other writers — because we all know that’s a losing battle. Considering some of the things I’ve went through this year and the day job craziness, the fact that I’m still writing is a small miracle.
We still have a last hurrah for 2011: A good month to go and as you NanNo champions already know, a lot of writing can happen in 30 days.
The good news is that I will be finished with my novel by December 31st. The not so bad news is that I know in my heart that I will probably need another revision pass and some beta readers before I can start my submission process.
Still happy about my progress though thanks in part to Operation 50/50. My plot changed significantly in the last third of my novel and I had to totally rewrite it. This is the part that needs the most revision focus. But my all of my characters have deepened and my protagonist has evolved so much since January — she is a complicated creature and I love it. As a writer, I can’t ask for more.
As for 2012, it’s going to be an exciting year. I’ve got some exciting trips to Hawaii and Italy planned and I’m looking forward to starting the agent submission process. This will be my second time around and I’ve learned so much from my past experience. We’ll see! :)
So writer friends, what about you? Are you going to make your 2011 goals for your novel projects? Have you been thinking about 2012 and what you want to accomplish?

One more gift from Peter H. Reynold’s workshop last summer:
I.O.P, or “Illusions of Progress.” Now, for some this may have a negative connotation. An illusion of progress, as opposed to the real thing… could sound like busywork. But it’s Peter’s view (and I agree) that I.O.P. can be a great motivator.
Look! I already have a…
- Chapter done
- Page written
- Outline drafted
- Book jacket idea
… I’m halfway there!
Well, maybe not halfway – but far enough along to make it worthwhile continuing.
Here are a few of my I.O.P’s…
- A rough draft
- A title
- Notes compiled on a subject
- Research on other books on the subject
- A few lines that establish “voice”
- A related list of any kind
What I.O.P.’s keep you going?

I managed to finish my first book without putting any of my kids in it, I will not make the same mistake in this last piece. I guess I will be finished soon.

I just love your illustrations.
You have an awesome style... Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all. :)
Can't wait to see the finished painting. Any advice for someone starting off in the artworld? I'd love to get in touch and possibly bounce some ideas back and forth, email me if you can spare some time or could help, email me even if your too busy.
None the less keep that art pumping out :)
