March (and February) Madness
In February, my goals were simple (I talked about setting them here): Write something every day in February. I did – well, that is, until I got the flu. But I have an outline for a couple new stories, built from my burgeoning daily writing habit. That’s something to work on. Submit SOMETHING to be…

The Number One Reason I Haven’t Been Sharing My Goals
There are lots of reasons… there will always be… but the number one reason I haven’t been posting about my goals on my blog is because I haven’t been working on them. I could tell you that I’ve been busy writing about books, doing the reviews that will bring in some cash or get me…

Plant The Flag
Setting the goal might just be the most important step towards your accomplishments. Without having set the goal, how do you know what you’re working towards? How will you know when you’ve gotten to where you want to go? I set and share some of my goals on the blog on a regular basis. In…
10 Days In
Things have been a little quiet around here in terms of goal setting and goal tracking and I want to get back to it because I truly find that I am more productive when I post my goals and you guys help keep me accountable. Here are the marks I hit and missed in September….

In my birthday post, I mentioned a 365 day challenge that I’m starting to make sure that I am maximizing my experiences and staying fulfilled. One of the things that has happened as I get older and a little more stuck in my ways is that I don’t meet as many people as I used…
Nothing matters more than results
