5) submitted a piece to an anthology

6) something top secret

there you go.

so what did i achieve?

1) finished first draft of fantasy-realism novel (waiting on beta readers)

2) wrote one short story that i will submit next year - need to research mags

3) began a new novel that’s unlike my previous novels

4) continued to perform at spoken words nights

2) write at least 4 short stories and submit to a range of magazines

3) increase numbers at the spoken word i host (i stepped down instead)

4) write more often and regularly

5) not beat myself up over writing
