May already! I don’t know if it was because of the A-to-Z
Challenge or what but April sure went by fast. For those just tuning in, I like
to post my goals on the first Tuesday of every month to shame motivate
myself into getting them done. Sometimes it even works.
First, let’s look at my goals for last month…
April Goals
1. Get more feedback on COLLAPSE
query, maybe even rewrite it again. If I get something I like, I want to send
out ten more queries.
I did
rewrite it again, although I haven’t gotten any feedback and I’m still not one
hundred percent sure it will work. I just hope it’s not as big a dud as my last
one.
2. Forty thousand more words
written in MALICE.
Did
this! Plus some extra! Yay me!
3. A-to-Z challenge!!! Wooo! I’m
planning on visiting at least ten other A-to-Z-ers every day, in addition to
all the people I normally visit who are participating.
Yep!
Hi, new friends! And old ones! I don’t think I got to ten every day (I may have
over committed myself there) but I didn’t do too bad.
And now for this month…
May Goals
1. Send out ten more queries for COLLAPSE. I hope I garner
some interest this time…
2. Finish MALICE. I’m not sure how many words I still have
to go, but I should definitely be able to get it done this month.
3. Update my blogs etymology pages. I have a feeling this is
going to be more complicated than it looks (it sure was last time!).
Well, that’s what I’m up to this month. I’m also going to be
busy doing a major cleanout, so I probably won’t get as much writing done as I’d
like. Boo. Anyway, what are you doing this month?
Sounds like you have a productive month planned! All those queries are bound to lead to something.
ReplyDeleteA good place to go for query feedback is Matt McNish's blog: http://theqqqe.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteAfter writing that, I had a sudden memory that maybe you already shared your query there. Then again, maybe I'm remembering the future.
You wrote forty thousand words during the Challenge? I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteYou had a good April. Keep sending out those queries.
ReplyDeleteYou managed quite well in April!
ReplyDeleteGo you!
ReplyDeleteThis month... In two weeks my life gets really, really uncomplicated. Whew.
You were so productive in April with the challenge and all the writing you did. I hope May is wonderful for you.
ReplyDelete40,000+ words in addition to completing the A to Z Challenge? Color me impressed.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you with your May Goals!
40K? I'm officially Jealous.
