Goals 2008: Writing Goals
In addition to the actual physical activity of writing, here are my writing-career goals for this year:
1. Send in four applications to teach at the ACFW conference: Showing vs. Telling, Critical Reading, Critiquing, and either POV or Setting.
2. Turn in revisions on Happy Endings Inc. early.
3. Volunteer as a judge in the ACFW Genesis contest.
4. Complete A Major Event Inc. by June 30, 2008 to submit to Barbour by the first week of July.
5. Complete revisions on Ransome’s Honor; begin work on Ransome’s Crossing.
6. Develop and implement pre-release marketing plan for HEI.
7. Attend Alumni weekend at SHU—possibly co-teach a workshop.
8. Pitch the Ransome Trilogy to at least four editors at ACFW conference.
9. Sell the Ransome Trilogy.
10. Schedule at least one book signing event for January 2009 (yes, I realize that’s next year, but the work will have to be done this year).

Is a blog tour for HEI part of your marketing plan? If not you need another bullet point. I’m just sayin’… 😛 I’d be happy to volunteer as an assistant coordinator… 😉

Count me in on any Internet buzz for the book, and a blog tour too if that ends up in your plans.

I posted my goals for 2008. I can’t wait to get my hands on A Major Event, and you left me hanging in a really REALLY bad point in Ransome’s Honor.
And count me in for the blog tour too!

You’re going to be really busy in ’08. I’ve posted my goals for the year too.
And we’re off!

I’ve been thinking about writing goals…and while this may seem a tad simplistic, I need to schedule time and set a goal of writing “x” number of hours per week. That’s the only way I’m going to make any progress. I also want to submit four new reviews to The Bridge website each month (which would force me to keep up with my reading…not to mention writing as well).
