It's a New Year

Well, 2015 has arrived, and I feel as if I'm turning a major corner in my writing career.  Toward that end, I've put together my writing mission statement for this year.  I think this process will help me focus and direct my writing endeavors this year.  My intent is to live this mission this year and then evaluate it come December 2015.  I'm ready for a new writing adventure:
