Peeking out at the new year

The first day of 2021 has come and gone and now it’s time to settle in to new routines. One of the things I’m planning on doing better is making time and hopefully interesting content for this here blog. The list of things I want to do this year, to accomplish is pretty long and getting longer but I’m not calling them goals this year. More like suggestions. I’ll be thrilled if I get them done but just fine if I don’t.

I’d like to get my granny hedgewitch book edited up and submitted to agents and/or publishers. I’d like to get my new serial’s (with all the details coming very soon) second section fleshed out and sent off to the publisher. The first section, parts 1-5, are already ready and submitted. I’d like to actually send submissions out this year – I didn’t do much of that last year. I’m really hoping to be able to do a few events – both with my books and with Crow’s Hollow. I have a long to-do list for Crow’s Hollow also but that’s not really writing related, though I do imagine some of those things will end up in books and stories – how can it not? I’d like to draft a new book this year also. Two if I go for NaNoWriMo again and hope this year cooperates better. Hopefully, with more words being created, that will also mean more words finding their way to publications but I’m not setting a target acceptance rate or submission numbers just yet. Just about anything is better than last year’s metrics though.

New shiny year, new shiny planner, and a less than new desire to be better at staying on target and at least moderately organized (in the writing, there’s zero chance of organization in most of the rest of my life – I’m a very disorganized sort).

I hope for you all many good things for the year to come – there’s never been a better time to do all the things.
