September writing goals.

[Matnov]

Pretty boring for me.

Same as it ever was!

JFW every day

 

[Paul Whybrow]

I will write another short story, for entering into a writing competition, possibly next year. I may begin a second novella about one my favourite characters, a traumatised American Civil War veteran, who's on his way to help his sister rebuild her plantation which was destroyed by Sherman in his scorched earth march through the South. I first wrote about Art Palmer in a story called Burpwallow Holler, back in 2013, and I want to find out what he does next!

I write fiction so slowly I should make goals for the end of the decade not the month. To revise the opening chapter of a novel. To restructure a possible speculative fiction for submission.

Out here it is an early dry spring in the southern hemisphere, so I plan to eat asparagus and walk on the beach looking at dolphins and calving whales. Mermaids singing each to each, etc.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Taking advantage of valuable feedback from @AgentPete, a re-casting of an early chapter; a question of tone, getting a novel ready to send out on its travels Oct/Nov.

 

[Carol Rose]

Finish and submit at least the next two books in my Demons on Wheels MC series.

 

[Sea-shore]

I will be putting my YA Sci-Fi to be critiqued at my City Lit Children's writing workshop (they all give very encouraging feedback) and working on sub plot for the other ms. Exciting!

 

[Kitty]

Still working through the editorial notes my agent sent me. My goal is to break the back of it this month!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Not getting much writing done today. Phone calls asking me for to do medium-ship for a deceased kitty, bless, and another just now for help to break a hex that he says is wreaking havoc on his family.

None of which is part of the advertised service, so I'll do what I can but I won't charge.

You couldn't make it up.

Well, you could, of course, but I ain't.

 

[Robinne Weiss]

I'm hoping to get one MS to the final editing stage and another to beta reader stage. Lots of editing for me in September! I also have 2 short stories I want to finish for particular opportunities, and two finished stories I'm determined to find a home for. And I need to prepare for a children's writers workshop I'm going to in early October, where I have an opportunity to pitch to a few publishers--got to make sure I have something to pitch! (working on those log lines we talked about today in village hall...)

 

[Diamond]

I will finish the first draft of my latest novel.

 

[Robinne Weiss]

I will finish the first draft of my latest novel.

That's such a beautifully declarative statement! We should all aspire to that level of certainty.

 

[Matnov]

Only a day late!

Pretty boring really. Hit my daily word target and am x amount further forward with my WIP.

 

[Carol Rose]

Got one book submitted, had a release, and have been working on the next book in the series all month.

 

[Kitty]

A good month and good progress. I would say I'm on target
