Hi ladies,

Please take the time to post your goals for the third full week of February under this thread.

It is very important that you write your goals down and post them here for accountability. So, I hope you will take a few minutes to do that before you delve into your week's goals.

Take care, and have a productive week!

I finally finished my outline for Another Time but am still completing the Plot master sheets, I plan to finish those this week.
I'm also working on an e-book in between.
So for this week, I will finish the plot master sheets on my novel, fill in some scenes and take a day to do some much-needed research. Finish the outline of my e-book and start writing it out.

Hi,

I did pretty good last week. I was able to stick to my schedule and it's starting to feel comfortable. I am also on schedule this week, even though I got called away yesterday and lost some writing time. This means that I'll be able to spend most of the day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday writing.

This Week:

Monday - Editing - Vella
Tuesday - Editing - Vella
Wednesday - Writing - Vella
Thursday - Editing - Novel
Friday - Editing - Novel
Saturday - Editing - Novel

I meant for Saturday to be for blog posts and social media but I have postponed doing that until I get my Mac back and find out what's wrong with it. I think that will be tomorrow.

Have a good week!!
