2012 Goals


1. Set up proper daily writing schedule (not namby-pamby, good-excuse-to-do-the-laundry, half-hearted plan).



2. Finish writing and editing my memoir (and I mean finish).

3. Get top agent and publisher on board (who will turn afore-mentioned memoir into International best-selling book).


4. Turn afore-mentioned best-selling book into multi-million-dollar Oscar-winning film, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt and some gorgeous comedy actress (with me on film set at all times to give helpful advice and acting tips to Brad and George).

5. Work out what the hell my blog is about and then create some incredibly clever by-line to describe it.

6. Blog on a regular schedule (and not in slapdash, random, do-it-when-I-fancy about-whatever-I-can-think-of way).

7. Gain many thousands of blog followers to increase 'platform' (and assist in turning said memoir into best-selling book and award-winning film).

8. Comment on other people's blogs regularly (and so ingratiate myself and encourage said thousands of blog followers).

9. Meditate daily (ha!).

10. Lose weight (double ha!).

11. Pay off my debts (so that when I become millionaire from proceeds of best-selling book and award-winning film I will not have creditors crawling out of the woodwork).

12. Read more books  (thus enabling me to get out of bed more easily as massive pile of 'to be read' books next to my bed will diminish).

13. Go to Italy for my 50th (ie. spend all day in yummy Italian restaurants ogling sexy Italian waiters in tight black trousers).

14. Continue spiritual growth and search for true life purpose (which surely must be more than Getting Through Day Without Arguing With Teenager Daughter And Staying Awake Past 10pm).

15. Laugh more.

  10. Raelyn - phew, got enough competition for B&G already! Ok, you can come and watch.
    BragonDorn - LOL well if you run then you can eat more, surely? Maybe run a bit further and eat a little less?
    Barbara - ditto re humor and my answer is still NO on the B&G front!!

  11. That's a very packed scheduled there!! haha I'm with you on the blogging schedule. It would be nice to have a laid out "blog plan"..but at the same time, isn't part of the fun of a blog to post whenever you want to about random stuff :P Good luck!

  18. This is a noble set of goals! I stumbled upon your blog while looking for tips on how to increase my Scribd followers (sad, I know). My blogging world is totally different from yours - I blog about life in Thailand - but I think we share similar writing goals. So good luck to you and all the best for 2012. May it be a prosperous and successful year!

  19. Thanks Ray - did you see my previous blog about Scribd (in October) which gives a few tips for how to start up and increase followers? Or please feel free to drop me an email.

  21. Well, Claire, you're a good mile ahead of me - I have not put any goals on paper, though I do have a short list in my head - and one of those is to help you get that memoir written and edited and turned into an international best seller that makes you a mega-millionaire. You've got a great start - keep plugging away and you'll finish it up this year!

  33. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
