I read a definition for goals as "dreams with deadlines," and that got my attention.<br /><br />Some of my goals for 2013 are:<br />Eliminate clutter.<br /> Organize my office.<br /> Throw out unnecessary paperwork.<br /> Lose weight.<br /> Exercise more.<br />Write six new short stories.<br />Write six new essays/creative nonfiction works.<br />Attend at least one out-of-town writing conference.<br />Blog twice a week.<br />Visit friends' blogs at least once a week.Donna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-723168375632555422012-12-28T08:11:29.789-05:002012-12-28T08:11:29.789-05:00Mina - if you at least tried to do something diffe...Mina - if you at least tried to do something different, then that, in a way, is a success in itself.

I'll stick with the monthly challenge, but I'm planning to write more novellas -- just because they're so hard to find markets for.

This year, I'm making plans/setting goals for 2013. I pray I'm able to keep the ball rolling. Even if I fail, I want to round off next year knowing I stuck to my plan and did my best.<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Some Dark Romantic</a>Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-20457804496372978932012-12-27T15:55:30.457-05:002012-12-27T15:55:30.457-05:00Annalisa - I can't imagine not having somethin...Annalisa - I can't imagine not having something to work on or towards. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-2529071232575059322012-12-27T15:35:59.533-05:002012-12-27T15:35:59.533-05:00As you've already commented on my blog, you kn...As you've already commented on my blog, you know I don't make resolutions at the same time as everyone else.
