In which we talk about goals

hawkwing_lbSo, the Dreaded French Assignment from hell has been finished. It's a very bad assignment, but at least I won't be returning nothing and thus getting No Marks.
That done, my head cleared a little, and I'm now thinking about my goals for the year. There are the usual ones, of course - stay fit, get fitter, pass a grading or two in karate, achieve an acceptable average academically - and then there are the writing goals.
I have so many ideas in my head it isn't funny.
So my plan is to write between 260,000 and 300,000 words this year. That's 5,200 to 6,000 words per week for 50 weeks. 750 to 900 words per day.
Because I am insane, I'm aiming for 1000 words per day.
In goals of finishing projects, I want to finish two novels and at least three short stories.
Two novels.
Three short stories.
(Yes, all my short story ideas end up as novel ones, unless I'm very determined)
Also, I want to plan and write the first ten thousand words of at least two other novel-projects, preferably three.
So I'm ambitious. So what?
