2015 Goals – Final Check-In

2015 is coming to a close. It’s been an extremely long year for me. Multiple jobs, changing industries of work, settling into a routine. And the goals changed as I went.

Writing Goal—Non-fiction: Write, edit, and publish my planned Street Teams edition of Novel Marketing for August 2015. The outline and research were done in 2014 so the bulk of the formation of the book have been completed. The rest is just execution.

Update: I think they may get done, next year. The research is done and the draft is started.


Writing Goal—Fiction: Create, write, edit, and publish at least one edition of my space serial. I’m going to just bite the bullet and make my fiction happen. I’m excited and terrified.

Update: This is interesting. It started as a goal for my fiction but instead turned into a goal for Crash and Burn. In the end, the first chapter, the prologue, is was, edited and published in December. The serial is still coming along but Crash and Burn squeezed in front.


Writing Goal—Development: Take a writing course. I have one planned for the first part of the year.

Update from 3/4 check-in: Done! But perhaps it didn’t help as much as anticipated.


Writing Goal—Conferences: Attend two writing conferences. I have already picked up When Words Collide in Calgary and Sirens in Denver, CO. If there is an opportunity to attend a third, I will. With conferences, I will work to present at least once at each conference.

Update: WWC completed. Sirens completed. Things went very well this year.


Writing Goal—Blogging: Continue to establish my new partnership, ArtIsMyBusiness.com (I post Mondays! Marketing Mondays!), as well as maintaining Anxiety Ink (every Wednesday).

Update from 3/4 check-in: Keeping up with Anxiety Ink. AIMB has changed direction.

Side quests completed: 10K hike, maintaining purple hair, passed probation at work, reading books again, and adding comic writer to resume.
