2015 Resolution and Goals

There's some really good writing advice you hear a lot around the internet that goes, "Write every day."

Following said advice is something I've tried and failed to do time and again. I'm beginning to think the reason for my failure to follow through is because I've never been specific in setting aside a time to do so. Therefore, I've decided my writing resolution for 2015 is to write for at least thirty minutes every morning when I first get up.

I have more of a natural tendency to write in the afternoon, which is when my thinking is clearest, but now that I've gone back to work full time, morning coffee time is the only slot I have available on a consistent basis. I figure slow and steady beats flowing but uneven and sporadic attempts.

I can always edit or work on rewrites the few afternoons I have free, right?

My goals for 2015 are simple. I intend to finish drafting The Icarus Project, take it through the rewriting, editing, and proofing stages, and have it published before the end of the year. I also intend to have Midnight Rising, the second installment of the Yekara Series, drafted and well into rewrites. From this point forward, I'm going to strive to release at least one novel a year, which is about all I can hope to accomplish while working full time at another job, homeschooling, and running Contented Comfort.
