		<description>Yasmine,

This year has been super busy for me. I don&#039;t remember that I wrote down goals. I was so busy trying to meet the demands of all of my committments. I wrote two new novels and edited four that are coming out next year.

I think my goal for next year will be to stop and smell the roses. Yeah I know that sounds like a cop out but it&#039;s something that I know I can accomplish.  By  the way Yasmine, you didn&#039;t tell me you&#039;d made the anthology. Congratulations. I knew you had made it past the first two rounds. I&#039;m so thrilled for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

		<description>Outstanding, Writers. Remember, I will be asking December 2007 if you met your goal(s). I&#039;ll post another one of mine, Thursday.</description>

		<description>Hi Yasmine, This is a great blog.  Let&#039;s see....2006: I really didn&#039;t set goals but I managed to write the first half of two stories for up-coming projects.  One working title: The Crimson spirit and the other: Joren.  Neither was turning out quite like I had planned them so I put them on the backburner to pick up later. I tend to do better after a spell of time goes by.  Also I was recouping from Hurricane Katrina and not in a proper frame of mind.  
This is off topic from writing, but I did pick up another art form this past year. I began sculpting fantasy art dolls using polymer clay.  it is an interesting medium and hope to continue but right now I&#039;m focusing on my writing. 

My goals for 2007?
To finish the critique/rewrite of my 2nd novel, Thorn&#039;s Embrace and submit it to publishers.  I also plan to finish The rough drafts of The Crimson Spirit and Joren.  Lastly, I have a third novel planning within my brain and I would like to start the rough draft of that story.  The hero will be named Pepper and he&#039;ll be a grey fae.  I&#039;m still working out the details in my mind. 
Anyhow, hopefully 2007 will be a productive year for everyone.

		<description>Good blog, Yasmine. You really made me stop and think. GULP!

The first goal I accomplished this year was to write a new novel and get it to my editor.

The second goal of completing a second book and getting it to Linda fell short so it&#039;s being moved into 2007.

Next year my goal is to write three novels. How am I going to accomplish it? Stay off the damned internet and emails! It&#039;s the only way I can win at writing.</description>
