so, clearly "write every day" is not my strong suit. i have now failed (very dismally!) at this goal twice! since i've just started school again (my first semester at ASU), maybe this isn't the best goal to try to tackle again.... instead, my goal will be to make time for writing at least once this week. that sounds do-able!
your turn! how'd you do on your last goal? what's the goal for this week? cultivate a more positive attitude? read five books out of that TBR pile? (because we all know that reading HELPS with our own writing, of course!!) write a chapter of your WIP? two chapters? 4k works???
come on, help me out! what's your goal??

goal-setting friday
(don't forget to check out S. A. Larsen's Impetus Room for even more weekly goal-setting fun!)
it's friday again! congrats on making it through the work week! (well, almost...)
i was very excited by how many people set goals last week--even if you didn't complete them, setting goals gives you something concrete to work on. i find that they help me stay on task more than anything else.
last week's goal: check. completed (not that i set a very hard one!)
this week's goal: write every day. it's my last week before school starts, and i really want to make the most of it. if i can just get myself to sit down at the computer and start writing, i always get something done!
your turn! how'd you do last week, and what do you want to accomplish this week? finish some of those TBR books? put in a good, solid word count on your WIP? start revising? querying? really, whatever you want to do is fine! just set that goal and start working towards it.

goal-setting friday
hey everybody! sorry i missed this post last week--but nothing interesting to report. unless keeping a journal counts, i failed dismally on my write-every-day goal, lol. oh well! vacation was just too demanding!
i just finished the small project i was working on, so my new goal is just to figure out what i want to work on now (pick between several different projects...) and work on that. simple, right?
okay, YOUR TURN! what is one thing (writing or reading-related) that you want to accomplish by next friday? it could be a word-count, a daily goal, a page-number goal, a number of books read/reviewed goal, anything! the whole purpose of a goal is by the end of the week, you can look back and say, "yeah, i accomplished that this week." it's nice to know, and it gives you a clear purpose--it doesn't even matter if you make your goal or not! (although i think writers are generally over-achievers, so we're going to try, right?)
what's YOUR goal?
