A New Year and Resolutions

Happy Monday, good people of the blogosphere! Well, it's a new year and all kinds of awesome stuff is happening. Today, I'm gonna talk about resolutions. Kind of. Let's get going and you'll see what I mean. *grin* Grab a cup of coffee because here we gooooo!

Do you look back over your previous twelve months each December and make plans for changes in the next year? You should. Learn from your successes, failures, and otherwise, and get yourself geared up to take on the next 365 days with gusto!

Here's what I found when I did an analysis of 2014:
I published two books and one short story.I edited, proofread, or formatted for print (with IBGW) eleven books.I launched IBGW.net and took on five new editors. My blog gained 57 new subscribers.My blog here reaches almost 500 people per day (measured via clicks).I've grown my network by leaps and bounds.I attended my first writer's conference.I reviewed twenty-nine books.I interviewed over twenty authors.
Looking at the above, you'd think I'd be happy as a lark, but I'm not. I think I can do better.

So, for 2015, I'm going to do the following:
Publish three novels and another anthology with the ladies of Fractured Glass.Attend UtopYA Con again in June.Publish a blog post every day (M-F) unless I let you all know otherwise.Write one book review per week (which should get me very close to 52).Keep up with my author interviews and make them bigger, badder, and more awesome.Find a way to launch my 12 Days of Review Requests event to the next level.Follow my schedule for posting to various social media sites and blogging to the Nth degree.Get the Review Team's posts into the hands of more readers.
Here's my TBR list for 2015 (in no particular order):
