Writing Goals For 2015

I want to get more writing done than I've managed in the last six months (I've written very little), but I'm going to try and scale back my goals a bit so that I can actually meet them, maybe.

1.  Write two Grandpa Anarchy Stories Each Month.

I'm going to scale back my goals for Grandpa Anarchy stories, since I haven't been getting much writing done in the last half year.  Two stories a month seems achievable.

2.  Finish Three Tai-Pan Stories.

I still have stories I want to work on.  One of my  goals is to finish Bitch, because it really should be published before Hair of the Throug That Bit Me, which is already scheduled for publication.

3.  Finish the third "magical girl" arc for Girl's School, and try to wrap things up.

It's hard to believe I still have fans waiting for me to finish this thing.

4.  Write 1 short story set in my Otherworld Blues universe.

It was a nice goal which I totally failed to accomplish anything on.  Last year I said I'd write 4 stories, now I'm hoping I can manage at least 1.

5.  Publish Book One of my Grandpa Anarchy stories, edit 2nd book, assemble stories for 3rd book.

I did nothing on this last year, but it's still one of my goals.

List of stories I intend to work on:

Grandpa Anarchy Stories

World of Hero:  3 of 4 parts finished, but it's a mess.  Needs a rewrite.
Second Class (working title):  I did a lot of work on this in eary January, nothing since.
Unpossible:  No progress.
Serial Anarchy:  This is the Grandpa Anarchy novel I started in November.
Gate Into Danger:  A SG1-themed story that I meant to write this year.

Writer's Goals for 2014, End of Year Update

I accomplished one thing in December -- I wrote a Christmas ghost story.  The working title is Gin and Ginger.  I read this at our December writer's night/Christmas party, and people seemed to like it (I got a "needs to be tightened up" sort of response), but I wasn't satisfied with it.  I came up with a new opening and a plan to rework the story and tighten up the plot, and I started the rework but then I got sidetracked like usual.
