I’m not so keen on New
Year resolutions but I do like to set myself goals for the year ahead. I also like
to think big. After all, with hard work and luck, anything is possible and who
knows what opportunities will present themselves along the way?
So
this year, I’m planning to be better at time management and to use the time I reclaim
to be more focussed on my writing. I still plan to be
just as active here on the blog and on all social media - and be open to any opportunities that come my way to connect with
readers and writers - but I really need to manage my time better so that I can ‘do
it all’ and finish the three books I plan to write and publish this year.
Do you find that time runs away from you? What are your plans and is there one goal you’d like to focus on in 2013?

Of course, it can't be all
work and it’s nice to have other things to look forward to. This
year, I’d quite like to do a few more speaking engagements at reader/writer
events - should the opportunity arise - having now got a couple of talks successfully
under my belt during 2012. I also plan to attend as many writer events and
conferences as I can in 2013; certainly The Romantic Novelist’s Association
conference in July and the Festival of Romance in November and hopefully lots
of others in between.
So what about you? Are your
goals big or small? What would you like to make happen in 2013…?

Incidentally, do you ever plan to
visit Scotland?
Because apparently the US broadcasting network CNN has just named Scotland as
its Top Travel Destination for 2013 saying “anyone who has seen (the Bond film)
Skyfall, part of which was filmed in Glencoe (see the pic at the top) would have left the cinema
wishing they could race through Scotland’s dramatic countryside”. You can read
the full article HERE.
Well now you CAN visit Scotland AND without
leaving the comfort of your own home.
All you have to do is pop back here to
my Scotland based and tartan clad blog every Friday. Yay!!
Haste
ye Back – as we like to say in Scotland!
