Your 2013 Writing Goals - Page 5

cromag · 01-09-2013, 03:12 PM

My "goal" for 2013 is to foster the continuing evolution of my mindset. Last year I decided to get serious about getting back to writing. My approach then was to start "generating" ideas that could be worked into complete stories. This year my focus will be on following through. I currently have one story almost finished, another well started, and two more firm ideas.

Now if I can continue to do that EVERY day!

Well done. Keep it up Kenny

Why not just consider them to be your 1st critics?

Always good to get that practice in. Here's what my cat thinks of my writing:

You can see that Tipton does have a mind of his/her own certainly kennyc. He/she probably feels that your writing takes you away from more important things, like feeding and petting him/her.

I plan to release my second full length thriller by the begining of March, which is ambitious since I haven't started it yet!

Hmmm, yes, quite ambitious. Good Luck! Please keep us posted!

I'm finally able to say that I cranked out another 1000 today on two different projects but it wasn't nearly as easy as yesterday (and yesterday I actually got so wound up I did another 1000 for a total of about 2K yesterday)

also started a second blog to separate my types of writing (see the self-promo blog area if you are interested)

Reminds me of a line out of the movie "Grosse Pointe Blank": when Debi queries Martin about not knowing whether his cat is a boy or a girl, and he responds, "I respect its privacy."

Right now I will be happy if I can just come up with a decent blurb for the back of the book that I am planing to release on Sunday!

Cranked out another 1500 words today, finished and posted one piece and completed the draft of a second one, but it is still very rough.

I wrote a short three page story in one shot (planned) but I have a longer story in mind I want to try. This is the first writing I've tried. I love reading and I have some ideas I want to try to get onto paper.

My goal for 2013 is to finish my first novel, and have it available for purchase at Amazon.
