One of the writing groups I belong to, Sirens and Scribes, has a post listing goals. So, I thought…what the heck I’m going to steal that idea and use it for my blog.

Setting goals is a wonderful way to see what you want to accomplish, and once they’re in black and white, you can look back and see if you’ve been totally lame, or if in fact, you’ve achieved your goals.

so, this is the month of October, and it happens to be my favourite month. (Well, after snagging my first sale ever in September, it’s gonna be hard to top that)…but, fall is here with all the colours that we so enjoy here in Ontario, it means fall fairs, hot apple cider, Waterford Pumpkinfest and Yins restaurant.

I love October and these are my goals in no particular order:

1. Keep dragging my ass out of bed at 6 in the morning to walk the dog. Even though it’s still night out when I leave and night out when I return at 7.
2. Work on my revisions when my editor sends them along.
3. Try to stay away from chips and wine.
4. Try to make it to the gym at least once. that would be great considering I haven’t been in almost a year.
5. Polish my YA proposal and send it to Laura
6. Rework Blind Awakening into a Nocturne Bite.
7. Try to keep ahead of my laundry situation before it gets the better of me and takes over the house.
8. Try to limit my time on email, facebook, blogs, myspace and yes, playing spider solitaire

That should just about do it…..I’ll have to have a look back at the beginning of November and see if I was able to stick to my goals…what about you? What kind of things would you like to accomplish in this lovely month of October?
