The dust has well-and-truly settled since I kicked up my heels at New Year's, but how am I going with my goals for 2013? Completely forgotten, guilty memory, or notched up into achievements already? Let's take a look...
In my blog post, "Hello 2013!", I set my annual writing goals, including 10 magazines I'm fixing to write for:
- Peppermint and Frankie
- CLEO and Cosmo
- SHOP Til You Drop
- Girlfriend and DOLLY
- Vogue
- Madison and Marie Claire
In these first two months (in fact, by the end of January!), I'd written for two of these mags, Peppermint and Girlfriend. I've also attended a social media course in Melbourne (run by NET:101's Tim Martin) and am currently writing an article 'on spec' for The Big Issue.
I'm feeling like I'm making real progress. I attribute this to:
- switching back to 3 days a week in my 9-5 mediator job and having more time to write
- being more established as a writer so it's easier to get further writing gigs and, well...
- luck.
I'll share my articles from Peppermint and Girlfriend as they're published (fingers crossed!), along with my latest query letters to editors, successful and not-so-much.
So, over to you. How are your goals going?
