January 2009

• Revise TMA, one chapter per week, minimum 1k words revised per day.
• Submit minimum 3 chapters to crit group.
• Do required 6 crits for writing group.
• Start checking out agents currently accepting submissions.
• Do Create A Culture & Create A Language for Zaan for Storm King’s Eye.

January is more or less over, so let’s see how I did:

• I did not get the revisions done, but I did submit the three chapters to my writing group.
• Completed one crit. I think.
• Did not start looking for agents.
• Did not do Create a Culture/Create A Language for Zaan.

Not a very good start to 2009. A big part of not getting the last two things done on my list was, well, because I forgot about the existence of these goals. I have since found the huge planning binder – you know, the one I put in a “safe place” – and will faithfully work from it starting February 1st. After the Superbowl is over.

Month End Evaluation of Goals originally appeared on LisaHartjes.com on January 30, 2009.

I’m trying not to panic. I worked on the chapter on my old laptop, so I fire up the old monster. Luckily, it’s got all the stuff I wrote during Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have any of the stuff I wrote afterward. So, I’ve lost two, maybe three pages of work. Needless to say, I’m angry at myself for doing it, but at least I didn’t lose everything.

I’ve got a Gmail account, so what I’m going to do from now on (or at least try to remember to do) is email whatever chapter I’m working on to that account. That way if I do something stupid like this again, I won’t panic and won’t lose as much as I did this time.Similar Posts:
