It's crazy to see that although then I didn't think I'd be able to achieve my lofty goals, I've already reached most of them. I'm a goal oriented kind of person. If I have a plan, esp. one I've committed to, I can often reach it.<br /><br />I am careful to write goals only for things I alone have complete control of (why getting an agent or a book contract was not on my list.)<br /><br />You'll be able to finish this goal, no worries about NaNo slowing you down there:)<br /><br />Can't wait for Thursday!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462486350293703991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-38626661795176842552012-10-29T08:36:45.339-06:002012-10-29T08:36:45.339-06:00T.

So now it's just NaNo and hitting that magic number.<br /><br />Maybe I'll have to do a Goodreads goal for next year though so I can add that nifty box on my site too!Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-13892574115260157042012-10-29T06:56:02.140-06:002012-10-29T06:56:02.140-06:00I'm doing NaNo too.
