Goals for the Week. Part 4

After last week's abysmal progress on my goals, I think I did much better. Still have not gotten very far on doing edits on one of my short stories, but I don't have a lot of motivation to keep editing it. It's from something I wrote a while ago and I just don't think it's a turd that can be polished enough to sell somewhere, but I suppose I'll never really be happy with anything I've been finding out, so perhaps I need to suck it up and send it out. However, I'm very happy that I've gotten a my flash story for this week already done and ready to go as well as a massive 5k outline for my next novel (A Sci-fi epic)!

Anyways, here's the list.

1) Have two flash stories polished by Friday. DONE
2) Get a rough outline for the new novel completed. DONE (over 5k words into my outline)
3) Finish Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. ALMOST DONE
4) Get a third round of edits done with my short story. ONE ROUND DONE


This week I hope to finish up those things I did not finish as well as the following new things:

1) Have two more flash stories polished by Friday.
2) Outline and draft a second short story
4) Get two more rounds of edits done with my short story.

Again, the long term goals for this month stay pretty much the same with a couple additions

1) publish on my blog a flash story each week.
2) draft at least 2 short stories intended for submission.
3) have an outline for my next novel completed. DONE.
4) do this goals thing.
5) read Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. ALMOST DONE.
6) have a short story and flash fiction story ready for submission to contests and/or lit magazines.

Wish me luck with these and be sure to hold me feet to the fire.
