As mentioned before, I don’t normally do ‘resolutions’ but I felt that with the early stages of this blog underway it was a good time to set down some targets for the year of writing ahead.

* Maintain this blog even if reduced to two or three entries a week.

* Completely rework my autobiography by end of the year.

* Achieve three more short stories in anthologies by end of year.

* Be paid for an article / feature by June.

* Win £500 in prize money by August. 

* Investigate the publishing of my poetry (but not vanity publishing)

None of these are mind blowing strategies but it gives me something to come back to occasionally if I lack motivation.
