This is the time of year when I like to make all kinds of goals for the new year, and they usually include some writing goals. Anyone else been thinking about what they would like to accomplish next year?

My plan for next year is not as complicated as it sounds. I've got a bunch of shorts outlined. I have the beginnings of outlines for two novels.

I'm going to sit down at the beginning of every month and scribble the first draft of a short at a NaNo pace. Once I have an END at the bottom, I will then polish that while scribbling 1000 words per day in one of the novels. I may take Sundays off to recharge my batteries.

With any luck and determination, this will give me six completed shorts and two novel drafts by the end of June. (Understand that one novel already has about 30K words and the other has 10K, so I'm not exactly starting from scratch for either of them). I don't have a wordcount goal on either novel; whatever they turn out to be is what they turn out to be. Hell, I'll probably end up self-pubbing at least one of them anyway, though the one (with luck) will find a home at Rampant Loon.

That's the plan. We'll see if I can stick to it.
