In the last year I've focused on two things: actually learning to write (reading, reading, and more reading), and starting my Work in Progress, affectionately known as The /%$@*&! Book. Planned, started, torn apart, re-planned, re-started . . . I've learned that I'm not destined to be a prolific author. So I'm setting small goals. By the end of this year I will have *drum roll* developed a scene-by-scene plan that works and that excites me, and will be at least halfway through writing it. You can quote me.
