"A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline." -Harvey Mackay

1. Finish at least one short story per month. Total completed: 1 (Would have been 2, but I still have a few more scenes to finish up today...)

February's completed draft is a short piece I hope to send in for the Anthrocon 2011 conbook. So far the first half of the story is pretty decent and the second half is crap, but at least I have until April to whip it into shape or write something better. I haven't been trying to publish in conbooks lately, but with Peter S. Beagle as one of the guests of honor this year, I'd kinda like to be in this one.

2. Submit to at least three markets on my "someday" list. Sent submissions to two more of those markets this month, so I can officially cross this one off the list (yeah, I set the bar a little low with this goal, but I figured I have to have something on this list that's easy). Got a form rejection from one, and waiting for a response from the other.

3. Put at least one long short story/novella up for sale on Smashwords. Still nothing on this one yet, but once I'm done with my current WIP, the next project may be one that winds up there.

4. Work on my website. Wrote a brief intro paragraph for the homepage, and decided what else needed to go there. I'm hoping Jeff and I can get some work done on it this weekend (he's handling the HTML).

5. Open an Etsy shop. Registered on Etsy (as "inkstripes"). I haven't actually opened the shop, though, since right now I would only have 1 item to sell. >_< I have a sketch done for a greeting card, though, and it's a simple design that shouldn't take long to finish.
