I've actually got one last (new) 2013 goal, but that thread's locked, so hopefully I can post it here. I'm pursuing a non-traditional publisher for a project I completed last month, and though I didn't think a normal agent would be either easier to hook than the company I'm after or particularly useful because the context wouldn't make great use of traditional connections, I've recently discovered someone with the right personality, background and connections to do this job. A potential non-traditional agent seems like a good fit to help me woo my potential non-traditional publisher.
My final 2013 goal? To convince this person to read my manuscript. I feel like I'm aiming too high and not high enough at the same time. I finished 2 projects in 2013 and it was crazy fun and finishing each was extremely satisfying. Post writing activities are killing me. I've gotten to be a little creative at times because of the odd path I'm pursuing, but oye, most of it is grueling and some of it is terrifying. My 2014 goal may be to find a cure for ulcers.
Wish me luck if you have any to spare.
