The year 2012 is around the corner, and as such, I’ve been thinking about what I wish to accomplish in the twelve months that comprise it. I’m not one for resolutions, as they are pointless and often forgotten by mid-January, but goals are different. They imply a process with flexibility, rather than a to-do list that, if not accomplished, spells out failure. With that in mind, here are my goals for 2012:
1. Finish my MFA
2. Get published
3. Learn to sew with a sewing machine
4. Keep up my blog (at least three posts a month)
5. Keep in touch with my out-of-state writing friends
6. Read more
7. Complete a draft of Book 2
8. Get a bicycle
9. Take at least one trip outside of my city and state
10. Host more soirees
11. Learn to purchase and prepare meats for the non-vegetarians in my life
12. Take Riley to the dog park more often
Twelve goals.
Twelve months.
2012.
Bring on the adventures!
