[Sunny Irene Roth]

Hi ladies,

Please take the time to post your goals for the third week of January 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!

My goals for this week is to read "Save the Cat" while outlining my novel, Another Time. If I complete the outline then I will start an outline of my other novel, Angel.

Also, I plan to write for a minimum of 2 hours and spend at least 30 minutes a day drawing.

Hi, Amber, Oh how excellent that you're prioritizing writing-AND-reading! Let us know what you read this week - I'd love to hear! (novel, stories, writing-guides?) I find myself going to reading when I'm stuck in my writing, as a way to re-inspire myself. It sounds interesting to combine/integrate these two things, as you're doing this week, rather than swinging like a pendulum between them, as I am apt to do! - Cathy

Right now I'm rereading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. I watched the miniseries over the holidays and I thought the books were different. I wanted to see if they were. They are but the miniseries is still very good.

Thanks for that suggestion! We'll check out the miniseries - sounds like something we would enjoy.
