Goals What are your goals for the week of October 26th, 2020

[Sunny Irene Roth]

Hi ladies!

I hope you had a productive week, ladies!

What are your goals for this week?

Also, decide if you are going to be participating in our modified version of NaNoWriMo. please let me know. I have created a thread under our discussion forum.

If you participate in NaNo this year in November, and I hope you will, I will be devoting this whole month to posting lessons on how to prepare for NaNo. So, stay tuned for that starting Monday.

Take care, and have an awesome week!
Irene S. Roth
