5-Year Plan

Publish 10 stories in publications that grant Hugo-award eligibility.
Get one play produced with one of two major theaters in Iceland
1-Year plan
Complete Sand & Glass.
Complete final version of 3 plays
Secure an agent for Sand & Glass.
Submit 1 new story to a publication with more prestige or circulation than any of my previous credits.
To achieve these plans, I need to complete the following monthly and daily tasks:
Monthly tasks:
Update outline for Sand & Glass to reflect the previous month’s writing
Create/update list of possible agents for the book.
Write 20,000 words on Sand & Glass or short stories
Daily task:
Write 500 words
*UPDATE*
I did not manage any of these goals in 2015. I got sidetracked by playwriting, though the play was produced professionally as part of Reykjavík’s 2016 Art Festival.
I have made little or no progress on any novels.
That changes now.
500 words daily.
