Improve on my ability to write SHORT stories.

Short stories? What is this creature you speak of? *Grins*

In all seriousness, though, this is a great list of goals.

It is inspiring me to sit down tomorrow and get my 2012 goals lined up and ready to roll out. Thank you!

LOL Yes, I know... I have heard/read that a good way for a sci-fi/fantasy writer to break into the market is through writing and selling short stories for genre magazines. I'm going to give that a go, I think. But, that requires me to actually write short stories, which means that I need to tighten up my writing, which I need to do anyway.

Yay for inspiration!

I have a very good feeling about the upcoming year. It's going to be a productive and successful one for both of us, me thinks. *winks*
