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!
