It seems like they are everywhere right now, aren’t they? Blog posts, articles, podcasts, videos, all about the new year and the opportunities it brings to us. I love to read/listen/watch them, to be honest, they add fuel to my hope and good attitude towards 2014. I like the fresh start of the new year, even if I know, intelectually, it’s nothing more than a number, and that most of the new year’s resolutions are not met later on. I don’t really care. I like it.
And in the spirit of that, I’ve been doing my own planning for 2014. I want to share with you my creative goals for the new year:
1) Finish writing the first novel in my DC Files universe.
Tentative date: end of January
Later in the year: edit and send it out
2) Write the first novel in the new series I’m figuring out right now, set at the fictional college campus.
Tentative date: end of May (it may be my Camp NaNo project in April, actually)
Later in the year: edit and send it out
3) Write and edit at least two short stories/novellas.
4) Write an unspecified-yet novel as my NaNoWriMo project.
Not-so-tentative date: November
5) Edit the second novel in the DC Files series.
Tentative date: it depends on what happens with the first novel in that series
That’s pretty much it, that’s what I want to achieve in terms of my creative plans this year. Well, okay, it would be great to write even more, but I don’t want to commit to too much and then fail. I will revisit that list around June or July and we will see if I can add something to it. For now, I already think I’m aiming high. I better get to work!
