Writing Goals and Contests 2010

Have you noticed the pencil at the top of all the blog posts? It is there to help me, Sheri Ann Richerson, chart my progress so I can reach my writing goal of 100k in 2010.

Now, if you have been following my blog for a while you may realize that in 2009 I wrote over 200K. I wrote five books last year which was a big help in acheiving that goal and I won NaNoWriMo 2009 with a word count of over 54k.

I am also participating in NaBloPoMo or National Blog Posting Month. It actually runs 12 months out of the year, so my goal is to put up a blog post every day on some part of The Experimental Homesteader, which now includes this blog as well.

Currently I am involved in a writing contest known as Book-in-a-Week. My goal for January 4 though 11 is to write 100 pages which will complete my work on book #20, the final book in the LifeTips series I am working on, the secret life of a gardener.

Of course there will be other contests throughout the year and hopefully some magazine and book contracts. Keep an eye on this site for updates.

I love hearing from you, so drop me a comment on any of the blog posts. Let me know what you think, what you would like to see or even feel free to ask questions if you feel I have missed anything along the way.

Hope your 2010 is filled with dreams come true!

Sheri
