Hello Weekend Writing Warriors. I’ll be taking a couple weeks off while I finish my latest WIP. I’ll be back soon.
What a big week. I sent my WIP out to some betas and I pulled up two other WIPs that are close to done. One is now in the final read through before betas stage and the other needs an HEA. I have figured it out though. I hope to finish the final scene this week.
Big steps forward.
Huge.
Of course, all three have giants steps to take before I can hit send, but I’m really hoping one of them will be ready to go soon. Fingers Crossed.
Oh and today’s my birthday. Aw! Birthday cake for everybody. 😀 This is my first birthday as a published author. It feels good, so good, but I have so much more that I want to accomplish. I have many more characters I want to write and yes, I would love for my writing to support my family in some way. For now, I’ll concentrate on the projects in front of me. Eye on the ball. However today, I’m going to concentrate on my favorite things like reading and enjoying coffee.
Have a great day everyone.
The Goals – week-8 results
- Spend at least 1-hour a day with my characters- done. 🙂
- Daily progress in writing craft, word count, editing, and/or plotting- very much done. I finished a read through and sent a WIP to betas. I spent two days on craft and ended the week reading through two WIPs and plotting out a HEA. I added over 1k to my WIPs this week.
- Take care of and be kind to myself (start w/ a relaxing ritual and daily breaks from technology)– done. This goal is always easiest on a birthday week. I relaxed and took my breaks and prepared myself for another birthday. 🙂 I am going to have to start breaking out the healthy journey into a separate goal though. It needs my attention.
What you might have missed here this week:
Happy Birthday! Enjoy the day and the week and be sure and take time out for yourself. As I said last week, I haven’t done enough of that lately–and I guess it shows.
Figuring out endings is, IMO, one of the hardest parts of pulling a good story together. You know what’s going to happen, so you’re ahead of the game. Have a happy birthday and enjoy your day!
Wow, you are just really kickin’ it! Great week, S.J.! Let’s have another. 🙂
Happy birthday! Hope it’s a great one.
I like that you’ve added health goals into the mix. I need to start doing that! 🙂
Happy birthday, and many more!
