Build my author website
I want to take everything I (reasonably) can learn about html, graphics, structure, design, etc, and synthesize those ideas into a rockin' author site with all the accoutrements -- mailing list, newsletter, writing prompts, contests, study guides -- as well as something I've never seen on another site. When I figure out what that is, you'll know.
Connect with teachers, librarians, and booksellers
It's tough to connect with the kids I'm writing for. In some cases, it's against the rules -- they aren't allowed to have their own Facebook accounts, and approaching them on the street is frowned upon. I mean, there's a playground next to Magik, but yeah. What I can do is build solid relationships with the people who recommend books to kids aged 8 to 12. Which I want to do anyway -- they love books! What's not good about that?
How about you? Does media play a role in your personal or professional goals for 2010?

Great goals! I really want to start vlogging on a continual basis. But that would require a video recorder...
I've got to restructure my website: go from an unpublished, unagented website designed to attract agents to something more.
And I think I'm going to try to restructure my Facebook profile. I want a "friends" one and a "fans" one--I've been holding off because I don't like the sound of asking someone to be a fan of me, but on the other hand...
Cole - That's true...maybe you could MacGyver something up. With your little one's See'n'Say, perhaps...
Beth - I've had the same hesitation about a fan page. It'd be nice to have fans right now, but I don't think it would reflect well on them. :)
