Now that I'm back home I've managed to sit down and actually write my goals for the next year. I have eleven writing goals and I'm pretty sure I'm done with that list. If I add any more, I think I run the risk of not completing all of them. Even though it's not 2010 yet, I've started on my first one and I'm feeling pretty good about my list so far. About two years ago a woman in my local chapter started a '100 words for 100 days' challenge. The idea was to write at least one hundred words each day for the next one hundred days and hopefully develop a solid writing schedule. The excel spreadsheet she gave us was a God-send. I use that thing religiously now and it keeps me on track with my word count. I'm not going to share all my goals, but here are a few:
- Attend a conference (I really need to get over my fear of them and just go to one!)
- Finish and submit third story in my Miami Scorcher series for Ellora's Cave
- Tweak HIS SECRET PAST (which is gathering dust on my computer) and submit to my agent OR pitch to an editor at a conference (if I can just make myself go to a conference)
Now I just need to make a 'goal' list for the other parts of my life. Losing ten pounds will definitely be on that list. :) What about y'all? Any goals, writing or non-writing related, you want to share?

I cannot believe you're still nervous about going to a conference. Heck, with all the books you've published, you'd be like a writing Goddess to ninety-nine percent of everyone attending. Sheesh. They will stare at you in awe. And I've seen your picture--I don't think you need to lose ten pounds. So there.
I love you! The holidays were not kind to me, lol. Or maybe they were, depends on how I look at it ;)
