Now that November is over, it’s time to revisit my October goals and see how that went. (Uh, yeah, I never made a November goal post because I was doing NaNoWriMo and I sort of took that one as a given.)
October goals:
Get an ending for the rough draft of the dragon novel. I really, really need to get this done this month since NaNoWriMo starts in a month and I want to have this ready to park in a digital drawer by then. So I’m going to do my best.Get the next chapter of ALL BASILISKS out to YWC. (I may need to rewrite part of it first. We’ll see.)Keep ten queries active.Come up with an outline for the NaNoWriMo novel. I tend not to plan, but I really am more efficient when I have a decent outline. Again, I’m going to do my best on this.
(I’m giving myself points for that last one because I did come up with an outline even if I then abandoned it and worked on something else.)
In any case, I’m giving myself an A+ for the month because I did it all. Plus I’m sleeping with the professor (me).
On to the December goals:
- Post every day on the other blog for Holidailies. (Note: I’m not saying that they will all be interesting posts. I try not to set impossible goals.)
- Get the next chapter of ALL BASILISKS out to YWC. (I may need to take a field trip and/or rewrite some of it.)
- Keep ten queries active.
- Rewrite the current query so it invokes a better sense of wonder. Or something. I’ll try something different in any case.
- Finish the novel I worked on during November. (This may be a bit of a stretch goal since it’s December and there’s always a ton of stuff going on, even in my life.)
(Judgemental big dog is here to keep me in line.)
