Pamela Tracy here, thinking about life and goals. I really am one of those strange people who happen to be list makers. I was reminded of this on Saturday morning as I was frantically trying to gather my belongings to I could head to a library to give a talk. I had a list of all I needed to take with me: 1) Notes for my workshop 2) Handouts 3) Fliers advertising Amanda Cabot and Tosca Lee's upcoming workshop 4) Pens with the Craftie Ladies' logo on them, and 5) Love Inspired bookmarks . Wha wasn't on my list was the bag to put them in. I finally settled on the ACFW bag still waiting paitiently, in the corner of my office, for me to notice it.Oh, cool. I forgot about the great black notebook. Pens! There are about a dozen pens in the bottom! Here's the conference program with a Craftie Ladies ad in it. What's this pink piece of paper? Ah, my list of goals, made in Karen Ball's workshop.
My list of five short-term writing goals are
1) put out three books a year
2) get invited to a continuity
3) earn a royalty check that's over [secret number here]
4) win a RITA
5) get picked to do a workshop at Nationals
So, guess which one happened.
Then, what are your five short-termed goals (I have long-termed goals too btw)

Hey, Pam my list mirrors yours. Hard to guess but I think you're putting out more than three books a year, right?
ReplyDeleteActually, I had three books in 2009, but right now I have no books for 2010. Scary.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised your list mirrors mine. I'm thinking most people have similar goals.
Goals for 2010
ReplyDelete1. take a trip overseas as birthday gift for my 30th birthday
