2010 Goals

2009 was a bust with my goals. So, I'm revisiting and updating that list. I have a monthly calendar dedicated to my writing, with other out-of-town conferences that I have to attend for my business. One of those dates crossed out another thing I wanted to go to...
Some of the months don't have any projects listed, but I want to evaluate my options during those 'free' months. But write I will.

Writing:
January: Finish screenplay started in 2007 for March.
February: George's Christmas story. GIAM Tour de Force
March: NOLA conference in Shreveport. Montreal Screenwriting Retreat. Finish Chloe's Choice. Do outline for ScriptFrenzy.
April: Script Frenzy - Do Pierre's story.
May: Go through projects and select which is most feasible.
June:
July: Attend RWA National. Thrillerfest???
August:
September:
October:
November: NaNoWriMo for the month.
December: Enjoy the season, but write daily.

Write at least three pages daily, try to do two hours.
Edit material once finished.
Send out queries to material that is finished and ready to go.
Post on blogs weekly.
Do Contest Column monthly.
Check email in the evenings when watching TV.
Enter at least four screenwriting contests.
Enter at least four romance contests.
Study the craft - read one chapter from craft book.
Adapt my writing spreadsheet to include things that might apply.
Read at least thirty minutes for pleasure.
Work on Genealogy Book for self-publication by year's end.
Write in daily journal, highlighting various subjects that are on this list.

Non-writing:
Be serious about losing weight. (Only lost one pound in 2009)
Exercise daily at least twenty minutes.
Follow my housekeeping schedule.
Do more in the garden.
Take a picture every day as an exercise. Write down why I took the picture and print it out on presentation paper and bind in a book at year's end.
List five daily gratitudes.

Hi Donna,
Wishing you the best in 2010. I'm pleased to see your goals are a mix of personal and writing. So many writers get locked in on doing xyz and they forget all about the abcs of life.

Hi there, There's no doubt that your blog could possibly be having web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, great blog!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can
do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog.
A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
