In a move I’m pretty sure I cribbed from MJ, I’m going to
look at the goals I made for the year and see how I’m doing on them.
Considering I don’t even remember them, probably not good.
Resolutions 2021
1. Finish the book I’m working on and get it edited.
Hey, this is underway! Look at me actually doing something.
2. Work on the other WIP idea I
have and maybe even write it.
I may have actually already done this.
3. Actually query last year’s
WIP. Yes, I am terrified.
Probably not going to do this. Unfortunately, I’m more than ever convinced it’s just not good enough to stand out.

This one’s also likely not going to happen, for basically the same reason as above. Unfortunately, I’m just not able to figure out how to improve it. Sigh…
Well, I’m not dead yet. I even got my first vaccine shot, so I’m doing pretty well on this one. Really hoping none of those variants pop up around here.
Wait, I made this a goal? What the hell was I thinking! Social media is terrible!
Not doing too badly so far.
Good for you! You should still query, just to see what happens.
ReplyDelete#3. I think you're too close to your novel. Query. Perhaps you need critiquers to be fresh eyes to tell you the novel is good and worth putting out there. It doesn't need to "stand out". It'll be just what someone wants, but not unless it's out there for them to find.
ReplyDeleteI'm due for my first vaccine shot this evening.
ReplyDeleteI read the title of your post and thought, "hey, I forgot to do mine this year!"
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think I'd have any progress to report. You're doing so great—hooray for making progress!
