It’s Here!

WHOOO! I’ll be taking a blogging break next week! Like, a complete break instead of putting up filler, because I just want to relax and do nothing. Go celebrate my birthday by sending me cake!

August Goals

Whoo! It’s August! The one month of the year I actually look forward to! My birthday is less than a month away!!!! Aaaaaaa!

And now, goals or something.

July Goals

1. Edit one of the many projects I have in the works. Also start planning for the story I want to write this year.

Yeah, I did this. I also didn’t just plan the story. I kind of wrote it. Twenty thousand words. Not bad.

2. Work on edits from the beta notes I should be getting.

I did another read-through of the WIP and fixed quite a few embarrassing mistakes. It looks good, but of course, I still need more opinions.

3. Do some posts in advance to get ready for my blogging break next month. That’s right, I plan ahead.

Hey, I did this, too. What do you know.

In all, a successful month. I mean, in terms of writing. I think the reason I’ve been writing so much is because I so much want to shut out the rest of the world.

Anyway, goals.

August Goals

1. Work on planning the sequel to the WIP. I didn’t expect to do this already, but everything’s been going so well on it, that I’m actually getting to the point where it’s ready to be written.

2. Keep editing. Can’t get distracted by the shiny prospect of first draft writing.

3. BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAHHHHH! It’s almost my birthday! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

August Goals

It’s AUGUST!!!! The month of my birthday!!!!!!!! Presents! CAKE!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Anyway, goals or whatever.

July Goals

1. Do my word search. I always find I overuse certain words and phrases so now I have to get rid of some of them so it’s not totally ridiculous. You want to know how much I use the word “even”? Because it’s embarrassing.

This was so tedious, but I did it, it’s DONE. I never have to do it again. Until the next book. Whimper.

2. Finish the short story I started. This one should be easy.

I was so creatively wiped from the above I didn’t think I’d make it, but I did it. I mean, it’s a rough draft so it’s not like it’s good. But it’s done.

3. Get ready for my blogging break next month!!! I’ll have to get some extra posts ready.

Yes, I now have two extra posts just waiting to go up while I’m off far away from the internet. The third is always the trickiest since I don’t have a fixed theme for it. I’ll have to wait and see what comes up.

So I did everything. Not bad, right?

August Goals

1. Work on the new idea rolling around in my head.

2. Don’t do anything on the WIP. I need a break from it. I know it seems weird to have not doing something as a goal, but I keep feeling tempted to tweak it some more.

3. BIRTHDAY! Birthday birthday birthday. Have I mentioned it’s going to be my birthday?

So that’s August. I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty easy to make these goals. So what are you up to this month?
