Goals for the New Year

I’m not one who’s huge on setting lots of New Year’s Resolutions. But I do believe in planning and setting goals. (I’m not sure there’s a huge difference between the two, beyond what’s in my mind, but what can I say? To me, a resolution is simply saying “Oh, I’m going to do this!” But a goal has steps to get you from point A to point B and so forth. It feels more achievable.)

And so, I thought I’d share a few of my writing goals for the New Year:

• Write and have published the three books in my Taste of Romance series (scheduled release dates are March, July, and November.)
• Write another novella.
• Indie pub the novella
• Get started on the Jane Austen-inspired romance that’s rattling around in my head. I’m not sure if it’ll end up being part of a series or if it’ll be a stand alone. But I just know that it’s dying to get written. If it’s a stand-alone, I suspect I’ll indie release it, but maybe not this year.
• Continue blogging Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
• Be more reliable with newsletters – including some fun newsletter subscriber contests (there’s one going on now – be sure you’re signed up so you don’t miss the next one.)
• Work on forming a street-team. (If you’re a fan and would like to help me out occasionally with word-of-mouth marketing, shoot me an email and I’ll add you to my list of who to contact when I get the final details hammered out.)

What about you? Are you setting goals or making resolutions this year? Want to share?
