December Goals

Posted on by Theresa

My (unblogged) November goal was to work on the heist novel for NaNoWriMo, and despite some life challenges, I did that.

It was definitely a “triumph over adversity” year, but I’m pretty happy with how the novel is going.

But how did I do for October?

  • Get back up to 10 queries pending for SHIFT HAPPENS. (Not quite 10, but I think at least 6.)
  • Outline the chaos WIP (completely! with scenes! and characters!) in preparation for NaNoWriMo next month.
  • Get some feedback on IMPULSE and look into addressing whatever comes up.

So not terrible, but not necessarily a stunning success. Let’s see if I can do better this month…

Goals for December, keeping in mind that there will be travel and other stuff going on:

  • Add another 10k to the heist novel.
  • Get the next chapter out to YWC for feedback.
  • Gather the feedback on IMPULSE from WF and make a plan to fix things. The group had some really good thoughts on the novel and I can see ways to make it stronger.
  • Holidailies! Daily posts on the personal blog.
The old geezer squad sleeps into action…
