I'm a BIG believer in Goal Setting! 
I have all different categories, but I'm just showing my Drawing goals here. But if you want to set goals, you should break them into categories...like these
1) Personal
2) Financial
3) Fitness
4) Relationship
5) Business
6) Drawing
7) Spiritual
8) Friendship
9) Short term goals
10) Long term goals
ETC
Then make goals for each category.
* Be Specific
* Set a goal completion Date
* Don't give up!
MY 2010 DRAWING GOALS
1) Complete a minimum of 2 drawings per week
2) Teach 2nd portrait drawing course at Waubonsee College
3) Draw at least 1 commission drawing per month
4) Push my skill level by trying more difficult lighting conditions
5) Try 3 new types of drawing papers
6) Improve on drawing ears and hair
7) Complete 1 marketing idea per month for drawing
Hope this both helps and encourages you to SET GOALS!!!

Breaking Bad Christmas
No...I'm not a poet, but I do like to "wordsmith" for fun once in a while.
I just wrote this about my fav TV Drama Series "BREAKING BAD"
Breaking Bad Christmas – by Rick Fortson (DrPencil.com)
Twas the night before Christmas, and meth heads were sad,
Supplies had run low, it was time to Break Bad.
The meth Lab was waiting, and stocked with great care,
In hopes that Saint Heisenberg soon would be there.
The batch they would cook while evading the feds,
While visions of Blue Sky danced round in their heads.
Skinny Pete had his gas mask, and Mike had his own,
Pinkman knew the procedure, for he had been shown.

Drawing Requests
People on DA, Facebook, etc ask me to draw them all the time. My rate is $300 to $500 for an 8 x 10 depending on details. Please see www.tinyurl.com/HireRick Otherwise, I am no longer drawing for commissions. I appreciate that you like my work, and that you want me to draw you, but it goes way deeper than that. Not only do I have to spend 10 HOURS staring at the photo, I have so LITTLE time these days, that I might be lucky if I get time to draw 1 or 2 drawings a month. So when I get to draw, you can bet that it's ONLY going to be someone I feel INSPIRED to draw, based on the person, and-or the photo. Especially after having drawn over 200 po

My Response to DRAWING REQUESTS
When people ask me to draw someone...
People on here, Facebook, etc often ask me to draw a certain celebrity for them, because they really like that person. If it’s someone I have been planning and wanting to draw, but have yet to draw, I will consider it BUT ONLY IF I can find an great reference photo of that person.
