Yes, okay, the banner is a bit belated, but still, let’s all hope for a great year in 2023!<\/p>\nYes, okay, the banner is a bit belated, but still, let’s all hope for a great year in 2023!<\/p>\n
Now, onto…<\/p>\n
After posting how I did on last years\u2019 goals (not bad on the whole!) I turn to the plan for this year.<\/p>\n
First and foremost are the novels. I want to finish Treadwell House \u2013 Sanctuary<\/em><\/strong> first. It\u2019s at 25,000 words of an estimated 75,000 now, so finishing it should be pretty do-able.<\/p>\n Then I need to write the next book in the Market Center Mysteries series. I don\u2019t have a title yet, since I haven\u2019t decided what kind of show will be the setting. But I left Heather in an unhappy place at the end of Playing at Murder<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, so I need to get back there and help her heal from the trauma.<\/p>\n I still like the idea of increasing my inventory of short stories, so I\u2019m setting a goal of writing five again this year and submitting at least three. We\u2019ll see. And I plan to continue work on the audiobook experiment. I\u2019d like to have an audio version of A Vampire\u2019s Christmas Carol<\/em><\/strong><\/a> ready for next Christmas.<\/p>\n I’ve been an on and off blogger. I’m going to try to set a goal of at least one post per week. This is a new one to the list and involves creating a new habit.<\/p>\n On the personal front \u2013 since I finished the family photo album scans, my next project is to work on a personal memoir, requested by one of my children. I also want to investigate as much of my family background as possible while scanning some older family pictures for archival purposes.<\/p>\n And the quest to eliminate \u2018stuff\u2019 from my life continues. My goal has long been to get rid of one thing a day. I have good streaks and then times when I forget. I’m posting a reminder to myself to keep at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, okay, the banner is a bit belated, but still, let’s all hope for a great year in 2023!
