Welcome to the New Blog!

Isn't this the ugliest blog template you have ever seen? I swear, it looked really cool when it was a thumbnail.

Anyway.

This is going to be my writing blog. Right now it's mainly for accountability purposes, but my hope is that in documenting my attempts to succeed as a writer, I can help other aspiring writers see what worked and what didn't for me.

My long-term, non-specific goals:
1. To be published in a variety of media, including web, magazines, and eventually a book.
2. To be respected within my field.
3. To achieve financial security.

Vague enough for you? Okay, here are a few more specific goals:
1. To earn a middle class income as a writer.
2. To do the above while homeschooling and keeping a relatively balanced life.

To be embarrassingly specific, I hope to make $5000 a month by this time next year. That's roughly ten times what I earn now.

This month's goal is $1000. Each time I meet a goal, I'll set it higher.

More to come later, including where I am finding jobs and how I am finding time.

Happy writing!
