I finished the first batch of Michael Chang stories, participated in a competition, blogged (a bit) more often, got on social media, started work on the next batch of stories, even made a bit of money out of writing. But there were things I didn&#8217;t do. I thought I could have started the website, put the stories out to print, automated the ebook purchasing process and blogged more often.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, I want to do more. I want to make up for the failings of 2012, and maybe expand my writing skills and repertoire. With this in mind, these are my goals for 2013.<\/p>\n<p>1. \u00a0Write 3 novels. In 2012 I produced a concept for a post-post apocalyptic military science fiction cyberpunk trilogy (yes, that&#8217;s a mouthful!). Tentatively titled Eschaton, the series will take my writing to a different direction. I only hope I can live up to its aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>2. Write at least 6 other stories. I figure I should get into writing short fiction sooner or later. 2013 seems to be the best chance for doing this.<\/p>\n<p>3. Blog more often (at least once a fortnight)<\/p>\n<p>4. Get the website up and running, with automated ebook purchase options.<\/p>\n<p>5. Get the Michael Chang stories into print.<\/p>\n<p>6. Negotiate a way to bring the Michael Chang anthology into Singaporean bookshops.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I&#8217;m not even sure I can accomplish all this. It&#8217;s a lot of stuff to do, and I need to get a real job come 2013. \u00a0But to do big things, you have to dream big. And I sure want to do big things in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 2013 writing goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[288,341],"class_list":["post-473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-singapore","tag-writing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kitsuncheah.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
