While I'm thinking of it, just to write down my thoughts:

Goal #1: To support myself on my writing income

How to?

1. Get rid of extraneous debt

--- Find a day job that pays enough to pay off the cc's in 6 months.
--- Don't ever get into the credit card trap again.
--- Keep on top of bills, and don't get in over my head ever again.
--- Remember how it feels to be stretched so thin you can't stretch anymore.

2. Write every day

--- This should be so obvious!
--- Branch out into nonfiction as well as other genres.
--- Keep sight of Goal #1 at all times.

3. Submit!

--- Again, this should be obvious.
--- Branch out into nonfiction as well as other genres.
--- Have something in queue at all times.
--- Aim for "pro" publishers as well as epublishers/small publishers.

4. Promote!

--- Don't be shy.
--- Try different ways to promote published books. (for example: ebay.)
--- Try contests and giveaways.
--- Stay visible. Concentrate.
--- Keep sight of Goal #1 at all times.
