I’ve managed to avoid making any resolutions this year. Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of things I want to get done in 2009, I’ve just decided to try to stay flexible instead of tying myself to a set of arbitary goals. However, if forced, I’ll admit the following items are on my task list:
- Complete enough material for a second short story collection
- Complete at least the first two chapters of each of the three novels I currently have outlines for
- Research and compile a viable proposal for the non-fiction book I want to write
I’m already nearly halfway towards achieving the first item on the list, and the other two are within reach, if I can find the necessary time and discipline over the next twelve months…

Last night I wrote the 2,000 word outline of a new novel set in present day Bristol. It still needs some work (and a title), but I’m pretty excited at what I’ve got. At the moment, there’s a sort of Douglas Coupland/Cory Doctorow vibe to it, although it’s written from a very British point of view. I’m hoping to be able to work on it at the same time as the space opera novel I am about to start writing, switching back and forth between the two as the mood takes me.
Update: 11.05pm - Now up to 2,500 words.

A few months ago, I published a list of my favourite short story collections and a list of my favourite individual short stories. And now, I present a list of my favourite SF novels, in the hope that these three posts will go some way to answering the question: “which SF writers have most influenced your work?“
