What Are Your 2009 Blogging Goals…?

Lordy, it’s almost that time of year – goal setting time. Personally, I’d like to get my everlasting box of Cedar photos organized. My son will be twenty before I finish this I swear.

I actually applied for an out of the house writing gig the other day; I’m that serious.

I personally like happily blogging, but if I can only choose happy or blogs, I’d rather be happy than be blogging; you know.

Mini goals attached to this major goal include working more on my own blog projects vs. clients (or at least working on my own projects as much as I do for clients), and switching out my gigs that pay less, in order to spend more time on my higher paying gigs. Working on my own projects more won’t bring in more cash right away though, mostly, I’m doing this mini-goal so that I’m not as cranky.
