I never thought about it that way. I don't think I'll ever be the kind of commercial writer who's a MAJOR success (at least based on lj as a testing field although I haven't really written and posted anything in 2 years). I know I'll also never be the kind of literary author where the writing itself is praised. I'm good with imagination, so I'm sticking to fantasy and scifi.
If I had to pick, last year I was definitely more focused on writing better. Although my holiday fest fic could have used 1 more beta (and after the reveals I might end up asking someone to look over it again before I repost it), I was actually pretty happy with it and with what I was able to do with it. This is completely the opposite of my previous fest fic, where I loved parts of it but loathed other parts I couldn't fix in time.
So, this year I'd like to focus on trying to get published.

In conclusion, I'm a waffle ;)
