Project 52

Jennee and Karen put together something called Project 52, where you set 52 goals (one for each week, I believe) and cross them out as you go. I signed up for 2011, and have decided to continue into 2012 as a means to set goals. Seeing as how part of my reason for this blog is to keep myself accountable in working toward my goal of publication, I thought I would participate, but all of my goals would have something to do with my writing career (or my photography hobby). Below is my list of 52 goals, and I will try to update where I am (in brief) each week.
