Writing Goals for 2006

[pbray]

I'm not manic about goal-setting, but I think it's useful in your writing career to periodically reflect where you are, and where you would like to be. The new year is as good a time as any for this, so here's what I'd like to accomplish in 2006.

1) Finish The Sea Change (note: due this spring, so this is a no brainer)

2) Write Untitled the final book in the current series

3) Put together a proposal for the next series before Untitled is due

4) Focus on improving my craft and continuing to grow as a writer

And finally, assess personal finances and put together five year plan for leaving DayJob.

We're big on simplicity here as a way to achieve financial goals. It's amazing how little you can live on when you pare away the non-essentials that Americans believe essential. Crafted presents instead of bought, used clothing, used cars (or none), etc. etc. There's a wonderful book called the Tightwad Gazette with great money-saving ideas; I heartily recommend it. The less you spend, the less you need to make, the nearer thy goal to thee.
