2020 Goals

Mostly this new year I want to follow Ray Bradbury’s advice and hope to do so by implementing Heinlein’s rules as closely as possible.

That means writing short fiction and submitting some of it to markets. Let’s forget the novel for now and let’s focus instead on building on top of small victories.

Goals

1. Write one short story a week
   • Follow Bradbury’s advice
   • Follow Heinlein’s rules
   • That would account for 4 stories a month, or 44+ stories year.
2. Submit stories to markets
   • Research Sci-Fi Markets
3. Read one short story a week, at least
   • Short Stories to Read on 2020
   • Bonus: write a one sentence review + 1 quote
4. Review progress regularly
   • Keep track of progress, successes, challenges, etc.
   • Bonus: Write a weekly blog entry reviewing challenges, victories and failures.

Bonus

1. Keep the craft as simple as possible
   • Text Editor: Atom (or Ulysses if I can get it to work)
     • Update: Writing Fiction with Atom
   • Platform: Blot.im
