Happy New Year

I haven’t been writing for a full year… I’ve got a few more weeks to go, but I can say I’ve learned a lot in 2009. I wrote two full drafts of novels and a partial draft. I wrote about 70 short stories.
Now 2009 was intended as a learning year. 2010 is a learning year as well, but I do feel I am at a bit of a higher level. Less of a novice and more of a seasoned beginner.
What’s up for 2010?
- Get better
- Finish all three novels and query them to agents
- Participate in WotF until I win or sell my way out (my goal is really to be a finalist or winner)
- Ten shorts in the submission process on a regular basis.
I think all of these are doable (except the finalist/winner part isn’t under my control). I’m looking forward to it.

Seventy short stories and two and a half novels is a pretty decent output Owasm, great stuff. I think it makes my six short stories look rather meagre by comparison though.
But I learned a great deal from them, so I imagine you can’t help but learn from your volume of output.
Great work Ken! I’ll keep my fingers cross for you to hit the WoTF jackpot this year!
