I'm not going to lie... I slacked off on my writing duties in December. I was VERY busy baking and eating and Christmas-ing. Also normal life stuff, but mainly eating.
I've made some headway into my revisions but the tough stuff lies ahead, so I'd really like dive back into those very soon. Like right after I write this.
After that, my plan is more revisions! I have huge, huge revisions to do on KC (secret title laugh here). I'm looking forward to them but they also feel really daunting at the same time. They'll take a while, for sure.
Then I need to do another round of revisions on my NaNo book. There are plot holes-a-plenty in that one but I find myself thinking about it all the time, so I feel like I'm on to something with it. (Random: I've written whole instead of hole so many times today! What's the deal, brain?! Also, why am I typing hole so much?)
So three books and three sets of revisions! Yippeeeee.
I'm going to be SO READY to write something new by spring. Which is good because my December to Remember, write-every-single-idea-I-had-down thing worked and my notepad on my phone has a lot of titles of Book Idea 1, 2, 3 and so on, in it. If I'm being honest, after I finish the MISFITS revisions, I'd really like to write one idea I came up with in December, but I can't just stick to the fun stuff all the time. In theory, these revisions could be done by March-ish and then I can write like a crazy woman into the summer.
My writing goal this year is to write three books, which is actually the same goal I had last year. I came up one short in 2011 though, so I'm determined to make it happen in 2012. I actually want one of them to be the MISFITS sequel just for my own enjoyment, so we will see!
Do you make writing goals? And if so, what are they?

I feel like a slacker for my plans to write only one book this year (and it's already half written...haha). Can't wait to read your revised and new!
