Here is The Writer's Challenge: Write 1000 words a day - that's about 4 manuscript pages - every day, come hell or high water, until your novel is written. Then get an agent. Then get it published. This is the year you write your novel!

My New Year's Resolutions
Hello Fellow Writers!
Happy New Year!
This past year has been an amazing one for me. Right before my 30th birthday I finally got published, with Ellora's Cave. This year I've had two books come out (Punishing the Art Thief and Ginger Snap), sold a third (Hollywood Spank, releasing sometime next year) and sold a story to Berkley Heat for publication in November!
I've also written four other books which are all in various stages of revision. Some may see the light of day, some may not.
My goal for this next year is to get a literary agent. Now, I can't control whether or not a literary agent wants to represent the single-title erotic romance I wrote, so my resolution will be to submit query letters to agents this year. I've already written a query I think is friggin' awesome, now I just have to get the book ready to match it.
What are your goals for 2011?
You've had a fantastic year, Shoshanna! One of my goals is to be published by December 1, 2011. I have a WIP that's well on its way to getting there. Couldn't do it without folks like you who so unselfishly share their journey and give such helpful hints along the way. Thanks! And BTW -- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful goal, Heather - good luck! Happy New Year!
