Happy New Year, Everyone! Due to the holidays, the January LA Hangout will be next Wednesday, January 10, from 1 – 3pm at C&M Coffee and Milk Westwood Gateway, 11111 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles. Start the year off right. Hang out, set goals, and catch up with your writer/creative/entrepreneur peeps. C&M will validate parking in the building. Entrance is on Pontius Ave. RSVP on Facebook.

January 8 is the deadline to send January newsletter items (2-3 lines + link) to deckerling@gmail.com. Also, join us on Sundays at 7pm on Twitter for #GoalChat. Details below.

Remember, post January Goals on Write On Online or Facebook to be entered in a drawing to win this month’s book from Michael Wiese Productions. Also, share your 2017 Accomplishments & 2018 Goals.

Goal-setting season is upon us. My first goal-setting workshop for 2018 is a Lunch N Learn at LAX Chamber of Commerce on January 19. If you have a public or private group, and would like to have me speak, please reach out for more information. I do these virtually and in person.
