2012 goals

I might blog less regularly because I want to have more time to both write and read (if you followed Joe Konrath's link yesterday, you saw he suggests writers read. And I plan on reading many more books next year than I did in the past two).  I'm not setting a Goodreads challenge for it, but I'll try to reschedule my days to fit in more reading and more writing.

I have done my publishing schedule for the whole year, and will have one or more titles coming out each month – long or short. I've also made a priority list for working on those stories, so I have time to send them out to betas and editors before hitting "publish". And I'll be using three different pen-names and two languages and different genres. Looking forward to it – 2011 was kind of "boring" with only fantasy!

I might travel less (a trend started this year, when I spent most of my vacations at home working on my writing career), but I do need to get out of Roma from time to time, so hopefully the Paris Book Fair in March and maybe London in November, but we'll see. My travel plans aren't set in stone, haha!

Blog goals: I'll keep the Happiness is… on Mondays, might do a writing update on Wednesdays (which might mean my writing, other authors or any writing-related link or news) and a random post on Fridays (about books, movies, life, the universe… you get the point! ). Not sure yet if I want to do an Excerpt Sunday – let me know if you'd be interested in that.

This Sunday I'm still participating in Six Sentence Sunday, but if there's something wrong with my link again, I'll stop bothering with the sign up and post random excerpts – if someone is interested in reading them, that is! I might end up setting the static web page for Unicorn Productions at some point as well (fingers crossed).

Oh, and I will stop worrying about things I have no control over (such as sales or reviews or Day Job or other things). Easier said than done, but I will really work on myself. I can say 2011 was a success because I did reach all the goals I had set for myself, even if the dream behind it all (quit Day Job) is still far far away. But it's a dream and I can't control it. So I shall concentrate on the goals and not let anything stop me.

Wishing you all a Wonderful 2012!
