Here it is, only the end of February and I'm amending my New Year's Resolutions. :)
Here are the revised ones:
Get my PRO status with RWA.
Write one single title per year, polish them up and submit to publishers.
Write short stories with the idea of selling to ebook publishers.
Work on my writing craft by reading writing how to books or taking classes. That way I can hone my skills until I can concentrate on writing full time.
The reason I made these decisions is with my full time job that I cannot give up since I have a good retirement plan that I can access within 8 years. I also continue to work for Romance Reviews Today (LOL, Google my name and it comes up with a LOT of review quotes) and I don't want to stop that either. Reviewing is fun, and besides, I like the boss ;-)
The past few months I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed, but only because I felt this intense pressure to crank out the stories so I can strive for publication. Okay, maybe this isn't something a publisher wants to hear, but I need to not go insane.
The last few months have seen me struggle to keep momentum. I write, but then I end up having to push it aside for a few days. You can't do that on a 100K book and keep it coherent. :( I'm also the treasurer for RWA Online and can now devote more time to it and the discussion loop.
So, you will see me continuing to write, but in a different way of achieving it.:-)
I love to write!
