So here's the scoop...

**********************************************

Did you meet your goals for this week?  I didn't, I got a bit distracted by Katherine's birthday.  Then my car got sick...very sick...it went into limp mode.  Thankfully it was easily quickly fixed.
What are your goals for next week? Next week is a new week and I have new goals, plus my revision goals from last week.




Have a safe and happy weekend and don't forget to vote!

    My goals last week and for this week are to get my drafts to my editor for an initial read through and feedback. I sent off one last week and will get the other off this week.

    Wow, I didn't know you had to be 18 to join the SCBWI. Weird.

    Good luck with your writing and revision goals, Sharon. :D

    Lending my voice to the chorus of those who haven't a vote, but wish Hilary well.

    I nearly wrote "wish Hilary success," but I'd say publication of a beautiful book and nomination for a SCBWI Crystal Kite Award have that covered, and then some.

    Like you, my goals for last week--didn't happen. This week: shooting for close to 10k on the WIP, plus revisions on the complete MS.

    So I lost my whole post:( Here is the shortened version--too many goals to list as I am headed out of town on Friday but I WILL accomplish them!

    I've gotten sidetracked with my blog topics on promotion and not doing other things I'm supposed to be doing. Oh Well! Did we get the yes vote on A to Z yet?

    Thanks for the heads up about the voting, Sharon!

    Suddenly my writing goals are multiplying! And I'm on spring break and having a hard time doing anything productive. Step by step, I guess. :)
