I still daydream about getting a novel published, even though I understand how hard it is, and I know I'm not a literary writer but a genre writer, and my stuff seems like it needs an endless amount of improvement ...
I need to set some goals again. I'll make them SMART goals -- specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound.
- Write/submit 5 short stories/poems/flash fiction by December 31, 2020
- Get Whose Hearts are Mountains into developmental edit by March 1, 2020
- Send 50 queries for Gaia's Hands by February 1, 2020
- Send 50 queries for Apocalypse by August 1, 2020
Note that my goals are in terms of what I will do (submit) rather than what might happen (publication). It's not realistic for me to determine someone else's actions.
I suspect I will be successful in fulfilling these goals -- in general I'm very goal oriented. What I don't know is if they'll yield dreams come true.
