Hi all,

Believe it or not, we are ushering August this week! Wow! Even the summer is almost gone for all of us!

With that in mind, what are your goals for this week and for the upcoming month. List both if you know what your goals are for next month.

Take care, and have an Awesome Week!

Progress on last week — I finished and subbed my story, but I’m feeling stuck on my WIP. I feel like there’s a problem somewhere, something I’m missing to get to the next part. So... I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just poke it with a stick or skip forward.

This week’s goals:
  • Write 500+ words x 6 days.
  • Read through Book 1 of my series and look for promises that I need to set up and promises that I did set up for the rest of the series. Fill out plot cards for Book 1. My goal is to rapid release the whole thing about a month apart, but I’m stuck about 25k into book 4 right now... but halfway’s a normal sticking point, right? I think maybe I’m missing some scenes/time in my outline.

Here’s my goals from my cool spreadsheet for the month of August:

• Read through DG 1-4, list details to fix, promises, and plot holes & come up with revision plan. Check if promises pay off. Check if big things are seeded early. Note parts that came off particularly well. Also note if theme needs to be played up in a certain scene. Fill out plot cards. -- Maybe set up the plot cards to note each of these things?
• Draft Novella? - 6 chapters/week as outline is delivered (Don’t know that I will work on the novella yet as I’m still struggling with Book 4. Or else I will set aside Book 4 and get some help with the outline for it?)
