First- I want to reach 20 rejections in 2011. Once I have hit this mark I will make my collage. I'm not sure what all I am going to do with it yet, perhaps I will find a place on my wall to remind myself what I have gone through to get where I am.
Second- I am going to have at least three new stories written.
Third- I am going to keep doing movie nights with my children.
Fourth- I plan to complete my Bachelors in English and start towards my Masters degree.
Fifth- Continue doing open mic nights.
Of course this is not all of my goals, but it is a start on big ones I wish to accomplish. I have a lot of little ones that I know I can meet because I do them every year. What is one goal you wish to accomplish? Please tell me in the comments I'm curious to know.

Those sound like great goals for the year. Mine...well I shoot high. I want to get nothing but A's for the next three semesters, and I want a contract with somebody by the end of the year.
Will there be any origami out of these rejections? :D It could be a focal point of sorts...
awesome--open mic nights! I wish my girls would do movie nights w/me, but they're too antsy. And I think it's a good goal w/your queries b/c then you have a better chance of being picked up~ whee! best of luck. <3
Good luck with all your goals. You're doing a lot!
And who knows, maybe you won't get 20 rejections.
Summer, make a fantastic fairy out of the letters.
Goals, hmmm. To have my short story or novel picked up or a lighter note to win a contest with a fantastic book as the prize. That might be a lot easier. Then again ....

Finish my revisions and start querying! And then write some more! ;) Good luck with yours too and I have to say - loving your new look blog here! Happy New Year Summer! ;) xx
How do you plan to celebrate those 20 rejections?
I plan to polish my book's sequel - and hope my publisher accepts it!
Huge goals! They sound so worth it.I know you can do it!
Great goals, Summer. Mine are similar as we also do open mics and I'd love some pieces, however small, to be published.
I love your first goal, achieving 20 rejections in 2011. On first reading it might seem negative, but to receive rejections you need to submit. And if you may just find that all those rejections you expect don't come along!
These are great goals, Summer! Good luck! And Happy New Year.
Open mic nights - cool! What kind of thing do you do there? Margo and I are members of a little folk group called Three Ravens (hence the avatar), so we're starting do open mic nights too.
Good luck with your plans.
I like the rejection idea. I hate those things and to turn it in to art is to go forward in a positive way.
I will write, the write and yet write some more. I also want a dedicated spot for my art.

Whoa, that's an impressive list! Good luck, especially with finishing school!
I love these goals!!! I like the idea of making a collage out of your rejections. Mind you, I hope you never get to 20 rejections!!!!!
My one goal is to really try and focus!!! As I've been far to scatty brained lately!
Take care

Right now my one goal....not to be homeless at the end of year. :) My one hope.... you NEVER reach 20 rejections :D

Finish my associates. I'm fairly confident I can do that one.
I love that you have goals on how many rejections you want. Definately puts some of the presssure off.
Land that agent.
I want to finish one of my novels. I've been working on one in particular for over a year now, and it's about time I got it done!
Good luck with your goals!
Hi Summer, just popping by again - I wanted to let you know I have a little something for you on my blog too. ;) Have a lovely week! x
Hey Summer - these are some fun/fantastic goals. Open mic nights sounds like a blast. Good luck with all of them. =D

i like the idea of getting rejections, and measuring it by that. because at least that means that people are reading. you are bound to find someone who wants your writing if you keep submitting!
I LOVE that you've posted your goals - and the rejection one is my favorite!
