2012 Goals Recap


1. Do everything I can in my power to get a literary agent. Which can be broken into the following sub-goals: 
     1a. Write the best damn book I can. Fail.
     1b. Write the best damn query letter I can. Fail.
     1c. Send those out to agents. :) Fail.
2. Finish and edit my two works-in-progress and draft a third novel. Fail.
3. Read 50 books, with at least 30 being young adult. Fail.
4. Practice 2 new hymns a week. Success! Until I got released as RS Pianist. Still, good enough to be a success.
5. Attend the temple once a month. Fail.
6. Have a family over for Sunday dinner twice a month (preferably a new family we haven't had over yet). Fail.
7. Read the Book of Mormon and New Testament all the way through (read BoM on Sunday School lesson schedule, and of course read scriptures daily). Fail.
8. Eat at least 3 servings of veggies a day (throw back from last year). Fail.
9. Coupon! Fail.
10. Fully build our one-year emergency supply. 
Fail.
11. Write in my personal journal weekly (so, this is the only soft goal ... but I still want to do it at least monthly). 
Fail.

So ... I kinda anticipated this. But it still stings. I almost didn't do this recap post, but the whole point of posting my goals is to be held accountable. So ... looking back on all this, 2012 was a big failure. However, I failed on so many of these goals because I got pregnant and delivered an awesome baby boy, so really, 2012 was a big success in my book. :)
