Round of Words Goals Post: Happy New Year!
When I think about all I can anticipate in 2013, I get really excited! One of the major advantages to taking part in something like A Round of Words in 80 Days -- the writing challenge that knows you have a life -- is the quarterly re-assessing of goals.
It's a bright and shiny new year...but my goals seem pretty darn similar to the ones I had for the fall. Um. Yeah. They're exactly the same, but with one addition. I made plenty of progress in the fall, but publishing a novel takes a LOT of work. I try to keep it in perspective. Since I plan to be writing for the next fifty years if I have anything to say about it, eighteen months is nothing in the scheme of things.
Here are my writing goals for this round:
1) Publish Queen Witch -- I'm almost there! It'll be out sometime in February as an ebook, and as a paperback before the end of the round.
2) Revise Flight, the third Children of the Sidhe novella -- I've been through my draft on paper, and once Queen Witch is out I need to spend at least an hour twice a week revising this baby so I can publish it this spring.
3) Write an average of 500 words per day on the second Foulweather Twins novel -- that should add up to 40,000 words during the round, and since I already have about 8,000 words written that will put me close to finishing the first draft.
Best of luck to my writing friends this round of ROW80! And happy New Year to everyone!
