How Did 2020 Treat Your Writing?

Me, I suffered from poor focus, loss of inspiration, decreasing creativity.

My 2020’s lofty goals included:

• write 12 short stories, one a month for the entire year, and sell at least two
• have at least one short story published in print.
• receive 30 rejections for my short-form work
• finish the edits from my agent for my young adult novel
• have agent send said manuscript out on submission to editors.
• work on draft 2 of NaNo manuscript
• enter ten contests, some for short stories, some for my non-fiction work, and even a few for my unpublished novel
• reach 2000 followers on Medium by the end of the year
• reach 5000 Twitter followers by the end of the year
• redo my website
• read at least 52 books
• Go to at least one writing conference and two writing retreats

So, you ask, how did I do with regards to those goals.

Surprisingly, better than I thought I would.
