“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”

― Ernest Hemingway, The Wild Years

From someone I would consider a master of the craft of writing, we realize that if he never stopped learning how to improve his craft, neither should we. In that vein, I would like to add a stretch goal this month. To make at least one of the books I read to be about improving writing.

Here are my February goals:

1. Read one book every week, one of which is about how to improve my writing.
2. Post on every member’s blog once per week.
3. Send out 15 agent queries.
4. Do not get depressed when I am rejected.
5. Finish final edit of TPR.
6. Outline all of TGM. Decide on POV and tense for TGM.

To wrap up January, I completed all but my first goal, which feels pretty good.

Good luck to everyone in February. I look forward to visiting you all over the next few weeks!
