Clamouring to become visible...

Another year passes us by, and for me 2007 has been quite a year. The year when I took the first faltering steps down a career path that I always promised myself I would do someday. Now I'm doing, rather than promising. Here are my aims and resolutions for my writing career for the coming year. Follow the link for a list of resolutions for my personal life.

Update the writing blog more than once a week. It is depressing the hell out of me to post a [Fiction] Friday entry, and realise that the last entry was the previous [Fiction] Friday post!
The podcast. Every Sunday. Unless of course I have a really good excuse...
Write more. Ideally two hours each day (and more on weekends). This is what I want to do as a career, and I'm not going to be able to do it unless I can write enough (and be paid for it) to allow me to quit my day job. So I need to be writing every day.
Finish The Long Watch. I wrote half of it in a month, I can finish it off and redraft it in a year, surely!
Finish The Major Arcana. Like The Long Watch, the stories have been kicking around in my head for a while. I just lack the discipline to put them down on paper.
The Scott Sigler Movie Project - OK, the timing of this is largely out of my hands, but I'm going to make myself ready and available for whenever this kicks off, hopefully sooner this year rather than later!
Speaking of scripts, the BBC are the largest commissioner of short stories in the world, and one of the very few places that will accept scripts unsolicited. Time to start making use of the Writersroom site.
Get an agent. This won't be until late in the year, by which point I ought to have some material to show them. But fingers crossed, I'll find one.
