#IWSG–What Should I Do This Summer?
This post is for Alex Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writers Support Group (click the link for details on what that means and how to join. You will also find a list of bloggers signed up to the challenge that are worth checking out). The first Wednesday of every month, we all post our thoughts, fears or words of encouragement for fellow writers.
This month’s insecurity – will I be productive this summer?
Teachers like me–we’re genetically engineered to push all our big goals into summer. Fall/Winter/Spring are for the children we teach, their parents, and the politics of school. Summer is the time we read our stack of books, take an online course, visit friends we haven’t seen for nine months, and make huge progress on our novels.
Needless to say, by the time we make our summer bucket list, there are far too many goals to accomplish. I want to do it differently this year. I want to include only three goals, with the idea that setting my sights on three accomplishments is minimalistic enough, I’ll get them done. But I need your help. What are your top three goals for this summer? Can I hitchhike on them?
If you’re looking for ideas, here are 6 summer writing tips from TAA and here are Janet Reid‘s (an agent with a wonderfully useful blog) ideas on summer writing goals.
