​You know how one day you’re saying, “Wow, August is almost over,” and then you blink and it’s September 11th? Yeah….

So today in addition to remembering the victims and heroes of 9-11, I am playing catch up.

My August 2017 writing goals were:
  • Complete outline and character development/world-building sheets by the time school starts   
  • Plan out a blog schedule for fall​
  • Iron out some business details   ​

​Well, one in three isn’t terrible, right? LOL. All my business stuff is taken care of but I’m not as far along with the other two as I’d like. I know that I will be doing more book reviews in the coming months and I will be starting to write my next novel soon so the blog posts will take a back seat to that.

My outline is complete. Actually, I have two complete outlines and a solid start on a third. However, this was not finished before my kids started school. I’m thrilled that it’s done now. A little more fleshing out of a couple of characters and some ironing of details is all that is needed before I put fingers to keyboard and WRITE! I am so excited to jump into it again. It has been way too long.

So, for my new goals:

September 2017 Writing Goals:
  • Have all the pre-work completed so that I can begin writing my next novel by October 1st! For reasons I can’t yet elaborate, there is a bit of a clock on completing this one. So, I need to get it moving ASAP.
  • Finish reading The Fantasy Fiction Formula by Deborah Chester and complete all the exercises as a good warm up for beginning the novel in October.
  • Get a newsletter put together to send out early in October.  Click here to subscribe.
 
There they are in black and white. Wish me luck! What are your goals for September?
