Confession time

[jtav]

Every writer has goals. "Sell my novel to an NY publisher." "Get feedback from BNF X." Get more feedback than BNF X." Mine are somewhat petty and both are recslist related: make Minisinoo's Cedric Recs page and be recced by the Know It Alls. Min is an extraordinarily talented writer and her writing help articles were instrumental in me finishing a fic, so knowing she thinks my fic is good would really mean something. I consider KIA the pinnacle of recslists. What I want to know is: what are your goals as a writer? Not the abstract ones like write a good story, but the concrete measurable ones?

Yeah, I could count making Min's rec list as a goal, too. She recced me in a post, but I'm not on a list. I floated for a week anyway. ;P Right now, my biggest goal is to get through my H/G novel that seems to have taken on a life of its own and is much longer than I ever thought possible.

BTW, the KIA link in your post goes to the CedRecs page. Good luck in meeting your goals.

Thanks for telling me *runs off to fix link* I certainly understand the "finish the darn story" goal. :)
