Something to consider as you head into to the new year. Not making a resolution, but making a plan. I've done that with some success in the past; I am being more deliberate this year.
What are your goals for 2026? How are you going to accomplish them?
An example of some of the items on my list…
Professional
Volunteer for new development projects that play to my experience / strengths
Lead at least one cross-team coordination effort
Writing
Finish two books
Edit one anthology
Write four new short stories
Publish a collection
Rac Press
200+ earned media hits
Streamline our PR process
Ensure all books are in Google Books, Goodreads on publication
Add a dozen new regular reviewers and/or podcast contacts
Personal
Invite someone to lunch/dinner once a month
Return to walking - 3 miles/day, 15 miles/week
Plan out our month giving for 2026 to hit our goal



And proof-reading prevents typos!
Some great ideas and some great goals!
