Some months (like September) are total chaos. I always feel terrible after missing every single one of my goals. But then there’s months like this.
What’s my point?
DON’T GIVE UP. DON’T LET ONE BAD MONTH DEFINE YOU. KEEP WRITING.
NOVEMBER GOALS
My brain has decided the next thing I write needs to be a YA Contemporary with absolutely no fantasy or science fiction elements. I’ve tried to ignore it and work on other things. Instead, I have a full outline.
But, it’s November. So instead of dismaying…I’m NaNoing.
National Novel Writing Month is an online challenge.
I (and everyong one else who is doing this challenge with me) am going to write 50000 words in one month. Wish me luck!
*Because of this goal, you may notice I’m dropping my editing goal. I’ll still edit when I get a chance, but it’s not my focus!
- Write 50000 words of the YA Contemporary in one month
- Read 150 Pages per day
- Post at least 2 shorts to the blog
- Post new videos to YouTube on Tuesdays
