The Challenge: Are you up for it?

Six days to Bad Girl!

There's only one thing hotter than doing something you shouldn't... Getting caught.
______________________________

The Challenge!

Since goals written are more likely to be reached than goals remaining in the ether, here are my writerly ones for the Fall:

  • Continue with the writers' group I joined this week. I attended my first meeting on Monday. Group members were welcoming and offered good advice. The snacks were terrific too. Can't wait to get feedback on the chapter I submitted.
  • Apply to the Writers' Fed. mentorship program. (Deadline: Sept 14)
  • Sign up for one writing workshop through the Fed. (The new Fall schedule is posted.)
  • Rewrite MS by December.
  • Apply for writing grant (Deadline: Dec. 15)
  • Enter Atlantic Writing Competition (Deadline: December 7)

Whew! No time for dawdling, is there?

And now my challenge to you: share one goal (for the writers in the crowd, it should be one to do with your writing) and report on progress. I'll commit to providing updates as I go along.

I have only one critical goal for the remainder of the year: get a contract for one of my two books currently in submission.

If I succeed I'll update you on my progress.

Kristina and Richard are applying for a WFNS mentorship, though it makes me a little queasy to do so. :-)
