Thirteen Goals for 2008
While I was going through all the past Thursday Thirteens I have put up, I found one I posted the last Thursday of 2007. It happened to be a list of thirteen goals I had for this year.
Yes, you caught the ‘had’ there, didn’t you? It turns out that list needs to be revised a bit, so I thought I would take the time and opportunity to do that this week. I’m putting up the original list as well as (my revisions).
1. Finish the first draft of my work in progress. (Still working on it…)
2. Finish the first edit of my work in progress. (Completely doable.)
3. Pay off my hospital bill. (It will happen…if I win the lottery. Revision: Pay off half.)
4. Still be writing for this site at this time next year. (Looking good so far. Revision: Still be writing for this site at this time next year and have it be more financially successful at that time.)
5. Submit a story (or more) to Women’s Weekly magazine. (Revision: Chicken Soup for the Soul. WW is a tough lot.
6. Go to Conflux 5. (Looks like it’s going to happen.)
7. Collect at least three more cool and/or weird pens. (I have two so far…)
8. Submit at least one short story…somewhere. (Working on it.)
9. Start on writing another novel. (Done.)
10. Keep my husband working on his novel. (RE: Snowball’s chance in hell. Revision: Encourage husband to work on his novels.)
11. Learn to make a fabulous lemon meringue pie. (Could still be done…)
12. Also learn to make lovely pumpkin risotto and turn that into my writing food. (Not going to happen. I just so happened to have risotto just before a severe reaction to a medication I started. Risotto is now spread regularly around Victoria. Revision: Find a healthy writing snack.)
13. Have a more functional and organized work space. (Doable. I did it before, but now I’ve gone and destroyed it again because I have spring fever…in the end of autumn…)
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Pens? You have two cool and / or unusual pens? Please don’t leave us wondering. I have a nice little collection of pens myself. Now you have me wondering what sort of pens you collect. I’ll lose sleep tonight…

You collect pens? Unusual/fun pens! Ooo, I think we should do a fun pen swap some day.
My two pens are recycled pens with the middle ‘body’ of the pen made of recycled paper. Those aren’t my best ones, though. I have one that lights up, a slider pen, a frog pen with a head and arms that you can make ‘punch’…
Okay, I do believed I’ve dissolved into a giggly pen fan girl. Oy.
