remember this post? remember these two ladies? jessica corra and bria quinlan? good, because it’s time for another round, and this one includes some serious business.
today’s topic: goals for 2012
something i get from my mother is my love of the even years, so i have a feeling 2012 is going to be good to me. because i’ve got that going for me, i’ve decided to limit my goals for 2012 so that i can really focus:
(1) have my current MS read and critiqued by 3 people.
(2) write a query letter for that MS.
(3) start contacting agents.
(4) sign with an agent.
that’s it. one step at a time. one revision at a time. one lifelong goal at a time.

Focus on the first three, and the fourth will come without half-trying. :)
that’s what i’m hoping for!
Sounds good! Love, Grandpa
thanks!
Total faith! TOTAL FAITH!
You can do it! I’m so excited to sit back and watch… my list only has that: Watch Abby Succeed.
Ok, maybe not JUST that, but it’s definitely one of the unwritten ones for 2012 ;)
oh my, that’s one of the nicest things anyone’s ever said to me. thank you.
You go girl…. I’m so pround of you. You can do it, you will do it. If you need an extra amateur reader, I’m your girl. <3
wow, you are so tech savvy in 2012. skype. library books on your kindle. hearts, ala <3.
and thanks for the offer of readership. i may take you up on it.
Short and sweet, that’s what all goals should be! YOU CAN DO IT, WRITER!
why, thank you!
i wouldn’t mind throwing my name into the reader hat…er…that is if i haven’t burned my bridges with the last beta read i did. i know i can be mean sometimes…well, all the time, but that’s what a meanie does :)
also, like Linda said, focus on the first three and you’ll probs hook an agent without even trying.
actually, you were on my shortlist of people to bug, i mean, ask to read for me, so i’m glad you are offering! it makes you seem NICER, but feel free to be MEAN to my MS. it needs it. desperately.
