Well
July wasn’t as much of a success as I wanted it to be. Sometimes, I think I just run out of steam. Feeling a little overwhelmed among other things. But you know how it goes. On the bright side, Kami is pulling herself up – that’s bright, right? RIGHT?
Anyway – moving right along
1. Finish FOD edits OMG DONE and sent to awesome agent
2. Draft Experiment – draft started… I reached 25k, determined that I can write it, but don’t enjoy it. Success.
3. Outline edits for AI – Won’t be doing this for a few months. I will now be outlining AYW instead
4. Do CP work for J & H – Finishing off J notes. H in progress
5. Write OWM piece for this month – Rough drafted, tweaking now
6. Pick next OWM prompt – PICTURE PICKED!!!
7. Keep up with Social Media and Blogs – Both Social Media and blogs have been slightly neglected. But I think I got to everyone at least once
8. Mwah – Babeh! – well DUH
Now 3 is sort of done, because AYW now known as FIS has had a hel of a lot of worldbuilding completed 😀
My goals for August may be a little too lofty as I have a family vacation to go on, but here’s hoping I manage most of it.
One thing I have to do is draw the line at accepting anything else to crit before I finish what I currently have on my plate.
How was your July?
Don’t forget to sign up for August!
I think you’re on the right track with expecting to get less work done over the summer. I know I do. I’ve been participating in Jeannine Garsee’s Grapemo for the month of July (essentially a goal-setting writing endeavor) and my goal was to get a fraction of the writing I normally achieve done. August doesn’t look to be much different. But, oh, September! Watch out!
You did better than me. 🙂 I have to agree, summer is not the best time for writing. I’m surprised I got what I did done. Sadly, not much was what I wanted to get done. -.- For now, I am going to make the best of these last few days and see what can be achieved.
Looking forward to August already.
You have done amazingly. Especially with all the worldbuilding. You are awesome dear. I don’t know how you do all that you do.
You didn’t do too bad. Over half your goals are crossed off. That’s something to celebrate. =)
For a new mom (even almost a year now, still a new mom) I think you are doing fabulous! I couldn’t do much of anything except work and take care of TheBoy. ‘Course, that was before I remembered my dream. 🙂
Hope to see more of you though, cuz I’m a little selfish and miss you terribly! 🙂
