It’s that time of year again where I assess what I accomplished in 2017. DNC = did not complete. DONE = accomplished.

At the start of 2017 these were my goals:

• Find a reliable critique partner. DNC
• Produce an audiobook of One Night. DNC
• Secure a traditional publishing contract. DNC
• Finish current work in progress, a new YA novel. DONE
• Attend at least one writer’s workshop or conference. DNC
• Start another novel. DONE
• Accept praise more graciously. KINDA DONE

I met almost half of my goals. I think I accomplished the two most important ones which had to do with writing output. I wrote two novels last year while working full-time, taking care of a house, dog, etc. which I consider a triumph.

This year my goals are:

• Write two novels
• Publish a novel
• Focus on scalable, long-term marketing for my books

What about you? What are your goals?
