It's that time yet again! Time to think about where we want to be in a month and set some goals in stone (all right, not stone...just cyberspace ).
So...By the end of August, I will:
- Actually finish the revisions to one of my flash challenge stories and research a market for it.
- Begin the re-write process for another flash story.
- Participate in some more flash challenges - critiquing and/or writing.
- Find a new place to live and start subbing again.

By the end of August, I will get all the little things in order (cover letter, sample chapter, summary) for my novel and submit it to Tor.

Actually, no; for one thing, I'll be a year older.
Plans for this month are: participate in more Flash challenges polish the output of any workable Flash stories to submittable (that isn't a word, is it? If it is, it probably shouldn't be) status get critiques out to people who are probably frustrated by my slow response times become unnecessarily rich so I can quit working and write full-time

I will... Finally have a surgery to not be so sick... (Which will help me be able to write daily, since I won't be getting as sick!)
I will be done with the first third of my novel, and have my main character give birth... hey births are always exciting.
I will read more writing from other people in my shoes, to help me see other styles. Also, I want to be supportive of others who write, because we all can help each other grow.
I will do more art all together to keep my creative juices flowing. Painted a picture last night actually, which is a good way to help me calm down and think about my novel.
- draft - 1/2 hour each day (no editing) - fiction - 16 hours/week - have my first fantasy story ready to recieve feedback - poetry - 1/2 each day - study writing - 3 hours/week - critique - 1 hour/week
Hopefully have completed another chapter in the book im working on, and id like to share some of it with all of you when its better put together.
I have an old stack of papers, filled with brain storming about this one idea i conceieved years ago, when I was 14, before the senility started kicking in Id like to develop that alittle more.

We're almost there, so how is everyone doing?

Well, I almost have "Freddy Conquers the Scot" ready for subbing and I have a couple of potential markets I'm considering.
I haven't started the revision process for any of my other flashes, but I know which one I want to tackle next, so at least I'm at that point.
I wrote and critiqued for a couple of the flash challenges this month, so at least I'm still producing something. I've been using the triggers to help me sort out some ideas and approaches for a possible NaNoWriMo project.
And I haven't found a new apartment yet, so I will likely continue to hold off on sending out new subs (unless they are e-subs).

Oh, I had forgotten about this.... um.. er...
quote:1) Start (or even better, complete) a chapter in one or both of my current WIPs.
2) Complete a short story and maybe see about submitting it.
3) Edit my current Saturday schedule so that I have a better chance for writing time.
I'm still working out a series of false starts on the first chapter. I've got 3 short stories (flashes) written and am about to make a 2nd draft run thru of the 1st one. I haven't figured out what to do about Saturdays yet.
I've got tonight and tomorrow night to better hit my goals! "Rrrrriiight, how long can you tread water?"

My august was crazy. I'm so glad it's almost over. Getting back to my writing is definitely something that is bothering me.
