And, once again, it’s a New Year.

Looking Back

Major accomplishments from last year:

Increase daily average to write at least 500 words each day (again, not including NaNoWriMo)
I started out the year strong with this one, but then allowed myself to get distracted with other projects. That’s not to say that the other projects weren’t worthwhile, but I should have stuck to the word count too. Complete and submit at least one novel for publication
Did not happen. No excuses. Submit at least one blog spot a month for external publication
Did not happen. No excuses. Well . . . reasons that lead to at least one of my resolutions for 2015. Continue to try to help make other’s dreams come true
Winner! For reasons of mystery, secrecy, and diplomacy, I won’t elaborate here. Read at least 30 books (and maybe more)
Winner! 34 books and audiobooks. I was actually a little surprised by this—but pleased! Win NaNoWriMo
Winner! Although it was a near thing until toward the last few days . . .

Looking Ahead

Major goals for this year:

Return to writing at least a daily average of 500 words a day (not including NaNoWriMo) Read at least 36 books (my stretch goal is 50) Win NaNoWriMo (this will be my tenth year participating) Continue to try to help make other’s dreams come true (this could take some interesting turns in 2015) Stop waiting.

We’ll see how I did on December 31st, 2015. Now to “boldly go”!
