I'm not making any plans/resolutions this year. Last year's plans were cut short by the death of my Mum and so I'm going to let things happen as they happen in 2012. <br />Here's to a healthy new year for us all.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-73545482783158985722011-12-22T15:22:04.137+02:002011-12-22T15:22:04.137+02:00I'm not the best at setting myself goals, but ...I'm not the best at setting myself goals, but here goes: I will read research material every day until I find the next story. Research material includes nonfiction and fiction since I strongly suspect I completely emptied the creative tank writing the last book and am now in the process of refilling it. I'm composting. LOL Every. Single. Day. I will also continue the search for an agent. Sigh. Good for you cleaning all day. I've been trying to get me and the family to commit to ten minutes a day, but it's not easy.Victoria Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978050059674596756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-35853075016453193372011-12-22T13:35:39.829+02:002011-12-22T13:35:39.829+02:00Oh yeah!

So, just throwing some dates out there, I'd like to have the edits done and be query ready with my second novel by the end of March. I also want to draft a middle grade novel I've outlined, and rewrite my first novel... need to work on timelines for those :)alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122487552931794871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-37996437527182093042011-12-22T01:20:14.940+02:002011-12-22T01:20:14.940+02:00I don't think it's too early--I've bee...I don't think it's too early--I've been mulling over some of my own goals for 2012.<br /><br />As for deadlines, I want to re-read (all 1000 pages--ugh) of my first novel which I finished last February during the month of January and rework the plot.
