Resolutions


 1. Write more.  This one is pretty simple.  I didn’t do too badly in 2011–finished my first novel, wrote a decent number of short stories, but I want to do better in 2012.  I’m not sure how hard this one will be to accomplish–I really do love writing, but finding time can get a little overwhelming.  I might try to cut back on social activities in the coming year to make more time for my writing.  

2. Submit more.  I want to have at least 30 stories out on the market at all times.  That means I have to write at least one new story every time I get one accepted.  

3. Send queries to agents.  I am really proud of my novel.  Most people don’t get an agent with their first one, but I need to try. 

4.  Keep up with reading Clarkesworld submissions.  I’m not working on Triangulation this year, so I should have plenty of time and mental energy to put into slush reading.
