Attempt at Fiction Writing

My New Year's Resolution is to write a fiction story for publication. I have two ideas that I'm working on. In the meantime, I'm reading some books on the subject, as well as getting involved in some writer's groups. I will probably narrow the groups down to one or two after I decide which are the best fit for me.

My first goal: read some of Anna Myers books for kids and finish Don't Murder Your Mystery by Chris Roeden.

My second goal: rewrite one of my children's story and attend the SCBWI critique.
