Update On Novel (5)

   At the end of 2011 I made myself quiet a few New Years
Resolutions; goals I wanted to accomplish in 2012. We are 
almost half way through 2012 so I decided to reflect on my 
goals and see where I am at.

Goals from Early 2012: 
[ ] Put more excerpts of my books up on my blog.
[ ] Edit The Silenced early on in the year.
[ ] Publish The Silenced for the Kindle and Nook.
[ ] Write the next book in the series The Privileged.
[ ] Edit and publish the book for the Kindle and Nook.
[ ] Write the finally book of the series.
[ ] Think of another idea for a Young Adult novel.
[ ] Finish writing my Novella in January.
[ ] Edit and publish my Novella for the Kindle and Nook.
[ ] Write everyday this year without exceptions.
[ ] Get more followers on my blog.
[ ] Post more blog posts at least 2 to 3 a week.

Goals Accomplished:  4 out of 12

Revised Goals List:
[ ] Put more excerpts of my books up on my blog.
] Create the cover art for The Silenced. 
[ ] Publish The Silenced for the Kindle and Nook.
[ ] Write the next book in the series The Privileged.
[ ] Edit and publish my Novella for the Kindle and Nook.
[ ] Write everyday this year without exceptions.
[ ] Get more followers on my blog.
[ ] Post more blog posts then last year on my blog.

Where are you at in your New Years goals? What are you 
working on and what do you hope to accomplish by 2013?

Sincerely,
R.J. Ropsen

  1. I don't have many New Years Resolutions (unlike you!). My two are : Stop biting my nails and Edit my novel, Wolfbane.
    I've completed the first one, but I've not even started on my novel yet! It's a very daunting task o_O

    1. Yes I do have quiet a few. Great job on completing your first goal. That one is a hard one. Good luck with your novel!

  2. sounds like you are headed in the right direction to reach your goals! I haven't really set huge goals, I'm trying to read a book a week and also considering self-publishing. I'm having a baby in a couple of months so everything's kind of on the back burner until then :)

    1. Thanks! I must have been very motivated when I compiled the list in 2011 but it feels good when I accomplish a goal. Congrats on the baby! Hope you consider self-publishing. I have enjoyed the writing process so far. Good luck with everything.
