Many authors end up scrambling to meet deadlines on their second books because they don't realize how much of their time gets sucked up in promotion.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-44751966427047557192011-01-08T18:50:04.103-07:002011-01-08T18:50:04.103-07:00Plans are to finish my WIP before my debut novel, ...Plans are to finish my WIP before my debut novel, RIVER BOTTOM BLUES debuts this summer and then it'll be promote, promote, etc...Query,query, etc...Ricky Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861574330175082978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-53375726622460030032011-01-07T13:14:40.781-07:002011-01-07T13:14:40.781-07:00Hi TL,

I believe they are doomed for failure because of the mind set we tend to have about them. Any resolution one is going to stick to is just as valid in August as in January. I do make vows to change behavior, but I try to always find ways to make them goals. For example, I want to be more grateful and positive minded this year, so I set a goal to post something for which I'm grateful as my first FB status every single morning this year.<br />I want to complete the rough draft of the book I've been writing for way too long, so I set a goal - publicly - to finish it by January 30th. This goes toward my resolution of writing every day.<br />So, that's my take on goals and resolutions.<br />Best of luck with yours. Keep us informed how they turn out!!<br />I'll be cheering for you!T. L. Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280040102040626570noreply@blogger.com
