My Plans for Next Year

Last month, I took a very deep breath and sent an email to OLL participants about the fact that I will be stepping down as OLL’s Executive Director on January 19, 2012. I’m going to head off to write full-time.
Leaving this organization I love so much was a hard decision to make, and the sadness I’ve been feeling as I prepare to pass the Executive Director baton was soothed by all the encouraging emails, forums posts, and tweets I received in response to the news. (To those of you who promised to buy my book when it comes out—I’ve harvested your IP address and will be sending you an order form shortly.)
Whenever I tackle a new challenge, I like to create a timeline so I freak out a little less. Since some people (hi, mom!) got in touch to ask what I would be writing in my post-January life, I wanted to share my timeline with you for 2012.
So, here goes!
