It looks like I listed two goals for 2011: 200,000 new words of fiction and 12 short stories.
I didn't make either goal.
My wordcount for 2011 is 181,390 words. While I missed the 200,000 word mark this counts as my second best year since I've started keeping track in 2007. I'm hoping to do better this year.
As for short stories, I only wrote seven, little more than half of my goal. I struggled with this goal, and I am not happy with my output. If you read my other post on goals, I'm hoping to write as many as 25 short stories this year. Yes, I set the bar way higher.
Sometimes in 2011 I found it hard to be creative. That impacted the writing, especially the short stories. One thing I hope to accomplish this year is to find ways to reignite my creativity.
I did epublish ten short stories, a short story collection, and a novel. I'm hoping to have a lot more published this year. And, of course, I plan to send things to magazines and publishers this year.
2011 saw me missing the mark on my goals. I'm hoping that 2012 will have a different outcome.
