Well, I didn’t quite make it to 15,000 words this week, but I got close enough that I’m happy with the work I did. Even while being distracted by a shiny new idea (soooo tempting), I got some good writing done, and the Birdie WiP is now looking like an actual book! I still have a ton of scenes to write, though. So this week, my goals are:
-Write 15,000 words. Because my inner editor has been going crazy while I’ve been writing this first draft, it’s only 40,000 words long at this point. But I’ve got a lot of plot left to write, and I’m hoping to finish writing by the end of November.
-Reevaluate the plot. I like what I have mapped out so far, but I want to make sure my characters aren’t taking the plot in another direction. If they are, I need to adjust the story and the climax, because I believe in character-driven plots and staying true to my characters.
So I’m hoping to get a lot done this week! Does anyone else have any goals, writing-related or otherwise?

Good luck with your goals for the week. I've given myself the week off since I have the claws. But, my goal for next week is to start my revisions.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I stop by I am amazed by your goals.
ReplyDeleteGoal - Actually sitting down and getting some time in on my revisions. I have been the queen of procrastination for weeks now. I'm not sure why. When I sit down and dive in, things go smoothly. And my Paws and Learn Goal will be to take breaks from the writing and finish putting together the two boxes of handouts that I have sitting in the living room taking up space. If I can reach, I will be thrilled!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I impressed with your goals. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSince I am not writing, my goal is to cook at least ONE meal this week.
Great Goals!
