I entered 2024 with some writing goals:
I plan to complete Santa's Diary - adding entries to fill the entire year. That's the major project.
I plan to submit The Grumpy Shepherd to another publisher, and if rejected to search for another one. I will be sending a query letter to Our Sunday Visitor to start.
I will continue to write haiku, senryu, and clerihews, and to submit them for publication. I had 10 published in 2023; it would be nice to have at least as many in 2024.
So, how did I do? Not well.
Really badly, actually.
I did some work on Santa's Diary, but fell way short. There are many days with nothing on them, and some story lines not finished.
I did nothing with The Grumpy Shepherd.
I did get more than 10 poems published, so success there!
Goals for this coming year:
More work on Santa's Diary. I'd like to finish it this year.
I need to get off my duff with The Grumpy Shepherd.
I have an idea for next year's Christmas Story. I've started research for it and I WILL get it written.
I will continue to submit poems. I don't know if I will make it to 10 published, though, as I seem to have fallen out of favor at Gilbert.
I will complete the transformation of my Civil War Christmas story into a play.
I will do more blog entries. 2024 was my worst year since 2016! And I will try to be more spiritual in my writing.
