That Goal Setting Thing OR How I'm Doing on ROW80

My goals for this week (my strategy is small steps until the end of this challenge round) is to put up one more poetry post to wind up my tribute to Poetry Month and how novelists can use poetry to create beautiful prose.













Then I will print out my WIP and edit it. I'm at 35,000 words and stuck, so I need to go back and unstick myself to finish. For me that means I have to find where I



a. took the story in the wrong directionb. didn't let the character lead the wayc. forgot to carry a plot thread along





I'll add 2,000 more words by Friday. Whew! Guess I'd better get cracking because I've already scheduled three other things for the same week. My family will be eating pizza a lot. Good thing they love pizza.



Check back on Monday for goal 1--Poetry.
