GOALS

Entering the second week of January, it ocurred to me that I hadn't made my list of resolutions as yet.
This year I'm going to type them out in some really attractive font, one that won't intimidate me by looking too dogmatic and yet with enough of a look of urgency to spur me on. Motivation is what I need, and unfortunately it all hangs on me.
It's tough being a writer, critic, publisher, and motivator, but that's living in the present moment for me.
I've decided to group my goals in chunks. You know, the way we were trained: short-term/immediate goals; intermediate/not so immediate; and long-term/ will they ever happen goals. Well clunky as it sounds, this works for me.
Short-term: Reading/Study program. Give up writing and simply enjoy reading again. Not for writing purposes, just for pure pleasure. So many books, so little time. Spend some time in my favorite subject, History.
Intermediate: Now, it's time to revise that book I'm so energetically avoiding.
Long-term: Research how and why, what and where of publishing tasks.
Final-goal: Submissions of completed work.
By the end of the year, I hope to look back on this list of resolutions and discover that the list is complete AND I'm having a book published.
