<p>I&#8217;m back! After a great holiday season, I&#8217;m ready to jump back in!</p>
<p>During the holidays, I updated the blogging software for my website. If you notice anything amiss, please let me know.</p>
<h2>2009 Goals</h2>
<p>Have you set up goals for 2009? Done New Year&#8217;s Resolutions?  My goals are pretty similar to last years: write better, write more, sell more. I&#8217;m taking some solid steps toward that.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.darcypattison.com/picture-books/friday-ideas-2008/">Friday Ideas</a> enters a new year.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m attending the <a href="http://www.regonline.com/builder/site/tab3.aspx?EventID=682472">Fearless Writing</a> class this month.</li>
</ul>
<p>What solid steps are you taking toward your writing goals?</p>
<h2>Goals for Revision Notes blog</h2>
<p>Again, I&#8217;m hoping to write posts that actually help you write better novels and picture books.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m planning to do a new series in February: Examples of _________.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m always asked for examples of various aspects of a novel or a picture book, such as examples of good plot, foreshadowing, characterization, description.  What would you like to see an example of?</p>
<p>What other topics would you like to see this year? Talk to me!</p>
