Writemotivation Update!
I set myself these goals at the start of the month:
1) Finish line edit of my novel - DONE
2) Continue to post twice a week in blog - DONE
3) Rough outline a new idea - DONE... kinda?
Yay! I do have to read over the line edits to make sure they make sense so there’s a caveat there I guess, but I’m calling them done!
The new idea outline... isn’t quite working but I did DO one. Does that count? I am not sure it does but hey...! I must say I have found setting goals really helps as does the awesome encouragement which goes on on #writemotivation on twitter. Thanks everyone.
As for August: I am going to join in Camp Nano! So my only goal for August is to complete the necessary words. I am not even going to set myself the goal they have to be on one piece. I am having trouble getting my next idea together, working, so I may have to write several openings to different pieces.
And maybe beg some poor souls to help me work out which of them works. Hope one of them does. ;)
But I am not putting any stress on myself other than to regularly write, try and make the word count, and hopefully by Autumn have a project to focus on further.
It may mean a slightly less regular blogging/commenting scheduling but am going to do my best to keep up!
Do join me in Camp Nano if you are doing it! Are you setting any goals for the summer? What's your next writing project?
PS Oh my forgot to say: 100 followers, a giveaway will follow, likely next week ;)
Nice job meeting these goals, and congrats on 100 followers! My goal has been to finish revising and editing my WIP and have it ready to send to beta readers by the end of July...and I think I'm just BARELY going to make it! I might have to type up the edits in the first two days of August and cut some additional words while they're reading, though. I'm not quite at the right stage for a month of NaNo-level drafting, but good luck with that! :D
