Don't forget the review contest...entries aren't due until the end of the month, but plan ahead, 'kay? Right now, the entrants have a 1 in 3 chance of winning. Make it harder for them.
Okay...on to my goals for 2011...
What I can do:
1. Always have at least one story in front of a pro paying market. Right now, I have two. I plan on adding another by the end of the week.
2. Sub one new story each week (Write 1/Sub 1). I plan to submit "The Good Daughter" this week.
3. Finish Borrowed Saints. I aborted the weekly updates last fall because I needed more time to edit. Will this happen? I don't know. But it is a goal.
4. Finish How We Die in a Hungry Town. I need to edit, edit, edit. I have a self-imposed deadline for this.
5. Write one review each month for Skull Salad. Minimum.
What I'd like to happen in 2011:
1. Sell at least one more story to a pro paying market. I need one more sale of 1,800 words or more to make "active" level for the HWA. I'd like that.
2. I'd like to sell a book. Right now, I have How We Die in a Hungry Town...hmmm...

Great goals. They sound challenging. I hope you have a great year!
Excelllent. I've already read 'The Bottom Feeders' in the free version, and enjoyed it. Just got the deluxe version from Smashwords. Expect a review in the next week or so, Aaron.
All admirable goals. And all achievable for you, I'm sure. :D
Thanks, Angie. All the best to you in 2011, too.
Debs - thanks for the purchase. I hope you find something worth 99 cents in those "bonus" stories. ;)
Cate - I hope. I hope.
Excellent goals! Good luck with them!
Fantastic, concrete writing goals. I plan to finish two novels by June (rough draft only) and then...I don't know. Write some more. Obviously I need to think it out a bit more carefully. ;)

K.C. - Good luck to us all.
Mercedes - Concrete as in concrete wall against which to bash my poor brains.
From what I've seen of you the past couple of years, it's all do-able my friend. Seems to me you're off and running with 2011.
I don't have to say good luck because your self-deadlines will be way more useful than imaginary mojo!
But screw it, good luck anyhow :D
Those are some excellent goals -- I should really take note of goal #1, especially. I'm such a slacker.
Good luck!
