Writing Goals for 2012

With two books finished (although editing continues as if the process will never end) I have an ambitious goal for this year: to finish two more books. And I found a quote this morning that was particularly inspiring, considering my grand goal:

"The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them." -- Alfred North Whitehead, British mathematician and philosopher

I have four other books (and several ideas written in various journals) that I started months or years ago and I never got anywhere close to finishing one of them. So, this year, now that I have two full novels written, I plan to finish two more.

They involve characters or story lines that I absolutely love, but I'm still figuring out how to end their tales. I think it's time now to sit down with those old friends and see where they take me.
