I have been toying with that idea - and it could really be good support for folks launching a manuscript.<br /><br />I have been adding things to my list of goals and breaking the goals down to steps to see what I consider 'doable' and what I think is just 'dreamable'. Once I figure it out, which will be mid Feb., I will know where I'm going. One thing for sure, I'm taking some graphic classes to brush up on my computer skills. I like the idea of maintaining my website, which I need to have up and running by February. <br /><br />I am excited for this year as well.ETownshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337611390091671496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-10578403742798120022012-01-10T21:54:28.294-05:002012-01-10T21:54:28.294-05:00Great goals!

It wasn't specifically a 2011 resolution--more like one I've resolved to do for a long, long time.
