    Let's just say I'm doing a horrible job of keeping up with my goal....
    between being on a trip and getting sick I've probably missed about 4-6 days out of my 2 weeks....
    and I was doing so well :(

    Just re-wtire you goal.

    One hundred words a night/day is fine!

    Even a sentence a day.... or a written idea or something. Nothing wrong with downsizing ;)

    I didn't make my goal. But I am gonna put finishing my first chapter on hold until I do the research I need to do. Need some hard facts in a couple of areas. I will still work on it if the mood strikes though. :)

    I'm putting my previous goal on hold in favour of a new, better one. :) Not more than five minutes ago have I started writing a short story, and I'll publish it on the WF when I'm done. My done deadline is April 12th. I'm really excited about this one and am working on it currently. :love:

    I finally finished that chapter I was working on the other night. It ended up being twice as long as I planned and I'm not looking forward to editing it, but since I finished it I've been back on track.

    Okay, I'll set myself a goal, too.

    My goal is to write the rest of Chapter Eight by the end of this week (Saturday night). But, on a smaller goal, I'd like to have at least one page done today, and outline the part of my short story I dreamt of last night.

    I haven't yet finished the first chapter of my novel. But I have finished my school assignment, submitted a story to a website, asked another website if they would be interested in another story. Also prepared yet another story to be sent to a mag in the mail tomorrow. So I have been really busy. :)

    By midnight I would like to have revised three pages, probably finishing my first chapter. It is 11:08pm.

    Time to get to work!

    I've gotten no where on chapter eight yet, which stinks, but I've been draft-writing about the school musical for the paper for about two days now. Just submitted into the 17th Tom Howard contest, can't wait until the results come in during September.

    Well my time period for my goal is done and I got....nothing done. nothing at all....
    so that would be an epic fail on my part.

    But since I really do want to finish this chapter I will give myself another week to finish it. that way I will be forced to push myself more rather than telling myself "oh I can do it next week, I'm fine"
    hopefully it will work.

    I smashed out a whopping 4000+ word Scifi/Fantasy story yesterday. I was truely inspired and took advatage of it.


    I also have a story and an article ready to mail out. Hopefully the mag and newsletter I am sending them to like them. :)

    I recieved an e-mail saying that my last assignment has been edited and on its way back to me. So I will be working on my 6th Assignment soon.

    I don't think I am busy enough..... LMAO
