I guess I’ve done this enough that it’s a tradition – rather than elaborate or ambitious goals, I’m going to set out a wishlist for the year, mostly things I expect to happen, am looking forward to, or would really like to make happen.

In no particular order.

1. Page proofs and copy edits to be done for Shattered City and Reign of Beasts

2. Write a first draft of Fury, before ROR in September.

3. Send in proposal for Fury to my agent to sell before it’s finished.

4. Volunteer regularly at Raeli’s schol

5. Launch Shattered City in April and do my best to contribute to & support the publicity for the book.

6. Swancon in April!

7. My quartet of stories from Twelfth Planet Press – publishing date is to be announced but I am hoping for this year, and will do my best to contribute to & support the publicity for the book.

8. ROR in September!

9. Launch Reign of Beasts in October (subject to publishing dates staying the same) and do my best to contribute to & support the publicity for the book.

10. Double the number of Galactic Suburbia podcasts we have out there.

11. Make regular time for craft projects and quilting, because it makes me happy.

12. Read for enjoyment and perspective on the field rather than playing a numbers game this year. But having said that…

13. I want to get started on the Read Agatha Christie In Order project! Kathryn, are you still up for joining me? I had a sack of the things delivered from a friend’s collection…

14. Write something that surprises me.
