Round of Words Goals Post: Spring 2013

I can't believe the time has come to write another goals post for A Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. I'm even a day late. :)

Keeping it simple, here are my writing goals for this spring:


1) Revise and publish Flight, the third Children of the Sidhe novella -- I've been through my draft on paper. Now I need to sit my butt in the chair and revise this baby so I can publish it, hopefully in June. This is the stage of writing where I need serious concentration…so the challenge will be fitting in decent blocks of time. I want to finish the second draft by the end of April to get it to Brooke, my editor/alpha reader. Then I should have a bit of a break before I can revise again and get it to beta readers. Fun! FUN!
2) Write an average of 500 words per day on the second Foulweather Twins novel -- I'm about 25,000 words into my first draft, and I'd estimate the draft will be close to 60,000 words. That means if I make this goal, I'll finish my first draft of this sequel in June. And note I said an average of 500 words per day. I often only write first draft material three to five days a week, but I still want to accumulate 3,500 words each week. Yeah, baby!
Good luck this Spring, ROWers, and other writer friends! Your energy, positive words, and extreme productivity are a constant inspiration! :)
