Greetings Kittens!

Today is a little tight and the official site isn't up yet, so I'm going to go simple this week and quickly share 13 Goals for 2011. Make sure you come back tomorrow for Crush of the Week and don't forget to swing by Rhonda Print's blog tomorrow to read my interview!

Enjoy.



1. Finish all my writing/submission deadlines on time and with minimal stress possible. (I have six this year...so far)

2. Complete two revisions on long term projects. 

3. Finish BloodQueen and The Forgiven.

4. Start BloodThrone and Rise of the Morning Star.

5. Become a more active participant in reader/writer forums.

6. Have fewer writing related obsessions.

7. Read more to recharge my creative spark.

8. Become proficient enough with my Hula Hoop to teach others.

9. Save up for certification courses.

10. More sex.

11. Complete another large crochet project. (I know that seems a strange thing to put after sex, but the last crochet project ended up being a queen sized afghan that's on our bed, so you get how I arrived here.)

12. More sex. (And you get how I got back here.)

13. Spend more time during the rest of the week getting acquainted with the blogs of my fellow TTers.

Good list, great goals. My goals for the year are much less ambitious than yours. Good luck and have fun!

Happy TT!

As long you achieve them, that's all that matters.

Thanks,Heather! I think it's always helpful to lay out goals when everyone is in the mindset at the beginning of the year. I'm considering a Decade List here soon to celebrate all the things I want to do before 2021. Maybe after I knock off the 13 above. :)

Hula hoops

I used to love doing hula hoop when I was a kid. Hmm, maybe I'll get some pipe and make one. Revert to my childhood for a while *grin* It's meant to be good for waist toning, isn't it? I could do with help there.

It's great for waist toning as well as arms and shoulders with off the body moves. You've got to let me know if you make one. I'm going to start making my own this spring. The supplies for it are my first reward for meeting deadlines in February and March.

Happy Hooping,

I wish you the best of luck with all of these. Especially the hula hoop one. ;)

Happy TT!

Yeah, another who knows the yumminess of the hoop! I could start a separate hoop blog just to gush but I'm trying to refrain myself...for now. :)

Happy Hooping,

If we could just push through that 8th week day that's been talked about forever, we'll all have more time to read. Goodness knows we definitely need, personally I'm waaay behind on my TBR list. Mmm...#10 and #12 for that matter!

here, here!

What a positive list. I identify with two of the items most particularly. Um, single and in my 30s.....just sayin'.

Yeah, I can see how there would be two to stand out. May we all get what we need and want this year! *wink*

Good luck on #6

Very true! Some things just are what they are. Even the other things I become obsessed about inspire writing. I'm pleasantly doomed! *grin*
