      <title>Goals for 2012 </title>
      <description>So, last year I completed my masters degree, found a new job, ran three half marathons, and three marathons (two of them during Nanowrimo '11), and managed to finish my novel for Nanowrimo 2011.

Which brings up the question, what does 2012 have in store?

Well, I'm going to continue running.  At the moment, my schedule in January is a half and a full marathon, February is Tough Mudder Georgia, and March will be another full marathon, and either a 50k or a 50 mile trail race (Okay, I'm waffling on that last one.  50 miles, with a cut off time, is scary!)

Additionally, I'm planning to finish the edits on two of my novels (this years and two years ago), and get them on the market.  Here's to hoping for publication!

Also, my wife and I are planning to bring a baby into the world.  Now that's scary.

Kid will just have to learn to be brave fast ;)

Find a big goal, and go for it, folks.  Life is for living.

      <description>My goal is to get back into school and get my English degree. Creative Writing major.

I also want a job that doesn't suck too bad.

I'm going to try to learn Latin.

I'm going to start exercising regularly because my health is not so good and also it will help with my depression.

College was meaningless otherwise. 

Oh, I want to edit this novel and get my five free copies from Amazon's Create-space too. The school I work for wants one for the library. Woot. I love motivation!</description>

      <description>Here's my immediate goals for next year:  

1.  Find a job.
2.  Graduate.  
3.  Get my own place and/or start saving money so I can eventually have my own place.
4.  Revise my manuscript one more time in the hopes that I can fix the final issues and land an agent.
5.  Become agented.  
6.  Finish polishing my Nano novella and either submit as is, or expand into an actual novel.  
7.  Write and finish another YA novel so I have more than just one thing on my plate.
8.  Continue working on the 100 Prompts Challenge and try to finish them.
9.  (Maybe) meet someone and (maybe) get back into a relationship.  Right now, though, this is one of the least important numbers on this list.  

I have a busy year ahead!  </description>

      <description>By end of December:
1. Have a nice looking website.
2. Finish my Flash final project for next semester.

Year of 2012:

1. Graduate~!
2. Get a job.
3. Final push for all As in a semester that I have never achieved before?
4. Edit 2011 NaNo novel to be 100k words long... so far it's shrinking quickly...
5. Work on blogging and tweeting more.
6. Consider going for Game Design major if I get all As in one semester.
7. Develop my artistic skills to jaw-dropping quality. (LOL this will never happen... but fun to phrase it that way.)</description>

      <description>I second the job that doesn't suck. But I guess that is where publication and more novels come in. 

I am in the middle of trying to learn latin myself.

I am also going to try that 52 novels in 52 weeks. </description>

      <description>Good luck with all your goals everyone - I'll be watching to see how everyone does.  If I can help anyone, just shout.  

Apart from the goals mentioned in a separate thread, my main goal is 

To Make More Friends
Get out more (which will help in that)
Get my hip sorted out - even if it's a hip replacement.  To that end even try swimming ...
Pass my course (which I can't do unless point 3 is sorted because I won't be allowed on placement :-()
Keep in touch more frequently with my lovely American friends (at least once a month)
Start believing in myself and ignoring everyone who tells me I've got nothing to offer.
As silly as it sounds, watch both series of Fame and a couple of my favourite films, and re-read the Diana Gabaldon series from start to finish (should take up the whole year, just reading those books)
STOP PROCRASTINATING and do the journals for my course when I'm meant to.

I think they are the main ones but I'll add if I think of any more.  Anyone know how to add the phrase below (after my name) so that it is just there automatically and I don't have to retype it over and over again.

      <description>Well as for my goals so far ... 

I have finished a massive edit that drove me to distraction (had to do it because it was an important project) ... only as I sent it out did I realise it wasn't in double spacing .... mind you, as I'm doing the editing I'm not going to let that worry me.

Passed a MAJOR exam and hurdle which means I CAN FINALLY GO OUT IN THE WORK PLACE!

Still procrastinating but getting better.

Sadly I caved in and bought a book to cheer myself up when everything went pear shaped last week.  How I deal with this situation will reveal how well I've done on my goal to become more assertive and believe in my rights.  Trouble is, I'm so damned scared of confrontation ... The person involved seems to think they've done nothing wrong in publishing MY book on Kindle and Amazon and NOT putting me down as writer! :-(  He wrote the script but I wrote the book and I can't le thim get away with it a third time.

I finally plucked up the courage to email three old American friends ... and to my delight it turned out I was wrong.  They ARE still my friends.  All that wasted time!

So slowly ploughing through thie goals ... I now intend to find a placemente and a supervisor this week ... then I'm well on my way to passing my exams.  Fingers crossed.</description>
