Hey IWSGers! There is so much going on in our world right
now. Can you believe it's a new month? Another opportunity to share what's
going on in our world and to offer encouragement to those writers whose spirit
may be flagging. This month's co-hosts are Nicki Elson, Juneta Key, Tamara Narayan, and Patricia Lynne.
On July 19, we have
the Twitter Pitch Party and you can find the details here. Be sure to hone those pitches for the many agents and
publishers who will be watching. You never know if this will be your lucky
break.
In a few months, the
IWSG Anthology Contest will be open. This time, the genre is young adult
romance. Watch out for September 5, which is when the theme will be announced.
Today's optional question is: What are your ultimate
writing goals, and how have they changed over time (if at all)?
I find that the more
books I've published, the less time I have to write. One of the things I
believe in is setting aside time to write. It may not be every day, but it is a
fixed part of my schedule. I have to admit, I've been slacking off, but
ultimately, I want to become disciplined about writing at least 1,000 words
each day.
If I sprint for a
half hour or just over that, I'll reach that goal. My long-term aim is to
finish all the stories I've started writing, plus completing the series I've
started. If I keep my discipline and focus, and set-time lines, I'll achieve a
major chunk of my goals. They haven't changed much over time, but I do need to
stay on course.
What are your goals?
How are they different now, than say five years ago?
