[Sunny Irene Roth]

Hi ladies,

We are moving towards the middle of the month!!

Given this realization, what are your goals for this week? What do you need to accomplish in order to ensure that you move your goals forward this week?

Please post your goals under this thread.

Have a great week, and I look forward to seeing you in the sprints.

Irene S. Roth

Goals for this week:
Write one flash fiction daily 11:00 am to 12:00 pm
Edit flash fiction 7:30 to 8:30 pm
Plan next day 8:30 to 9:00 pm
Continue with Barre Blend
Read one book on writing
Read one book from a successful/ best selling author (this week is The Stand).
Meet with Irene on Tuesday at 3 pm.

Things I learned from last week: I was overly ambitious with my goals, so I am just going to focus on Flash Fiction short stories and mastering my craft.

Thanks, Irene!

Review of last week, March 8th:
writing goals:
* daily commitment: the first hour of each day (if possible) - SOMETIMES
* join in sprints - NO SCHEDULED TIMES but regular, almost-daily writing at other times of day
mornings Tue 9:30a & Sat 9a
afternoons Mon & Fri 1-3p
evenings Wed & Thu 7p (if possible)
revision goals:
* complete a new scene-list for replotted ms.
including turning points for each plot-thread {emphasis on clarity & flow} - DID THIS a first time, but now must re-do it - this is in progress
* begin rearranging existing scenes to suit this new framework {revised character & plot arcs} - TRIED THIS and found the framework needs further revision; in the middle of a second go-round now.

I just need to get more writing time in. I will get up an hour early to write and stay up later to write if I can't during the day. I'm concentrating on getting my word count up and making it a habit.

I am bogged down with my freelance work for this week and into next, so just small things.

I plan to edit a Halloween story for an anthology.
I plant to start brainstorming a story for an upcoming anthology.
