Long-Term:

- Publish my first book
- Develop personal sales presence
I guess I'm not doing too badly.
Short-term goals tend to build into longer-term goals, and long-term goals can build on each other. I'm currently working on the "getting an agent" part through queries, and if I get an agent to take me on, the queries section of the short-term goals will likely resolve itself. Publishing the book, on the other hand, will take years once I have a publisher, so it's really long-term.
Personal sales presence is something I can't really develop (other than developing a platform, which I am doing).
And I have ideas for a next novel. Almost too many, given that I've been advised to focus my efforts on shorter fiction. But I'll pick one by NaNoWriMo (November), then start writing it.
I may have to come up with more goals at this rate.
