2012 Goals

Since I shared my progress on my 2011 goals yesterday, I think it's time for the 2012's goals!

Blog Goals:
  • Re-design in 2012. I've had the same design for over a year now and while I still love it, it's time for something fresh.
  • Re-ignite my spark for blogging. My interest has been somewhat lacking, but now that I've decided to become more of a (aspiring) author blog than a book review blog, I think that will help.
  • Brainstorm for content ideas on a regular basis.

Writing Goals:
  • Get my manuscript The Last Beautiful Place query-ready. Perhaps with another read-through by someone with fresh eyes or by my CP.
  • Finish at least one new project in 2012.
  • Participate in Nanowrimo this year.
  • Spend several months honing my query and researching agents.
  • Take an online workshop focusing on querying/pitching. I suck at summing things up, so I hope this will help.
  • QUERY. Try not freak out in the process. 

Reading Goals
  • Don't put pressure on myself to read as many books as I did in 2011. I hope to read at least eighty in 2011.

What are your goals for the new year?

  2. I hope I re-ignite my blogging spark in 2012. I've taken off since Thanksgiving but I'm not sure I'm ready for January lol
    I also have to change how i select books to read so it's more for fun than for blogging.
    I like your design :-)

    @ Karen-I feel ya. It's been nice to let blogging take a backseat.

  4. Good goals. I am tempted to plan to participate in NaNoWriMo next year, but I'd rather wait and see how the year pans out. After all, say I get an agent in October who wants a ton of revisions done by the beginning of December? :D

    All the best with your plans for 2012, Tara--especially with being query-ready!
