Projecting into the future (always a risky proposition)

In 2012 I will:

• Double the number of titles digitally available by moi (financial success comes from a deep title list) 
• Finish two novel-length works (screw you, writer's block)
• Force myself to learn how to outline (you're an artisan, not an artist, Mike)
• Take my first stab at formula fiction (see above)
• Chop my WIP list in half (closure!)
• Take back Thagoth from Random House, revise it, and re-release it with a new cover (oh, yes, every writer needs the editorial guidance, marketing power and cover art that a publisher provides. That I got essentially none of that, and still manage to sell copies of Thagoth, says that I don't need them. I just need to get serious, and get busy.)

In 2013 I will:

• Be approached by a literary agent because of the success I'm having as an indie author
• Turn him/her down

That, on the occasion of my 41st birthday, is my plan, and I'm sticking to it.
