Ready. Set. Write! Summer 2015
It’s not like we have enough to do, right? Right. So we’ve decided to join the Ready. Set. Write! crew this summer and set some realistic goals for ourselves. If you wanna play along click on the link above to venture to Katie Upperman’s blog (one of the hosts along with Alison Miller, Jamie Morrow, Erin Funk, and Elodie Nowodazkij) and find all the deets about the summer writing intensive that encourages goal-setting, accountability, and camaraderie.
Next week (and for the rest of the summer) we will update you all about our progress and set new goals using these headings:
- How we did on the previous week’s goals
- Our specific goal(s) for this week
- A favorite line from the novel we are revising or writing OR one word/phrase that encompasses what we wrote/revised
- The biggest challenge we faced this week (i.e. finding time to read, figuring out WHAT to do next with our WIP, etc.)
- Something we love about the novels we’re revising or our new WIPs
Since today is the first day of RSW 2015 everyone is setting their goals. You can find our ambitious, yet doable (…Right? RIGHT?!) goals below:
Pam’s Goals for Summer 2015:
- Finish revisions on my YA thriller, THROUGH OUR TEETH
- Write at least 15k words of a new WIP
- Read at least 5 books
- Exercise 3-4 times a week (including running!)
- Do something FUN or FOR MYSELF at least once each weekend
Quita’s Goals for Summer 2015:
- Work on revisions of YA contemp novel, YOU WILL LOSE HIM
- Plot/ begin writing at least 10k of new WIP
- Read 4-5 books
- Less work, more play on the weekends (especially on Sunday) translation: force myself to relax
- Exercise at least three times a week (or as often as Pam makes me :/)
So, those are our goals. What do you think? And do you have any new goals…writerly or otherwise?
