Writing goals: 2016

2015 was a busy year for me. Besides the conception and birth of my daughter, Wolf Creek was also published. My resolution to edit, edit, edit was met by editing Wolf Creek, Spar (resurrected trunk novel) and Safe Word.

I continue to introduce Wolf Creek to anyone and everyone in the hopes that it sells enough to warrant a sequel. I made enough sales to earn a print run. Hurray! The sequel is bouncing around my head.

Resolution #1: outline and start writing the sequel to Wolf Creek.

The reviews of Wolf Creek that complained about the lack of romance in Wolf Creek motivated me to retrieve from the trunk a half revised M/M erotic romance set in a martial arts dojo. Spar combines my love of martial arts with my love of M/M forbidden romance. Tyler is a closeted bisexual black belt who explores his attraction for a new openly gay student Josh, who wants to leave behind his clubbing nights and get serious.

Resolution #2: edit and submit Spar.

Revising Safe Word is starting to feel like a never ending effort. I am determined to get it out to beta readers by the end of the year. It needs some plot thickening, extensive fact checking and lots of spit polishing.

Resolution #3: get Safe Word to beta readers.

As my daughter discovers her legs and gets stronger walking, I am looking forward to introducing her to hiking. We are planning a trip to the Bay of Fundy this year and I want to do a hike or two in Baxter.

What are your resolutions?
