Dani's prime cut short list
- What time frame am I looking at? a year since Dani deemed it so!
- What does your current schedule/life style look like? I have a 40 hours a week job. I also have a few goals that take up some free time (training for a 5k run, Internet dating *grumble* and helping out my friend with her brand new twins)
- How important is writing to you currently? Important enough to want to write and to make it a daily habit. Not so important that it's at the top of my list.
- Where are you as a writer? I'm coming out of retirement. As a child, teenager, and college student, I wrote. I wrote many papers, but I also wrote poetry in the margins of my theory books and took the occasional C.W. since then I've been off and on with writing nights with a few friends and attempted a couple of NaNoWriMos but nothing really has come from any of those prompts/attempts. I'm looking for a chance to really dig in and get something done with my writing.
- What goals will better you as a writer? Ugh. improving grammar and spelling and being more mindful would be beneficial. I also really need to back up my work (the computer is old and is having issues multi-tasking--- or really single tasking). And it would be nice to have everything on the computer so I don't have to go through 20 note books just to find a couple of sentences I've been obsessing about.
- What goals are most important to you? Finishing one of the novels and keeping up with the blog (since I have other people counting on me).
Fatty List
- set aside two hours a week to write (20 minutes. a day)
- finish a rough draft on past NaNoWriMo projects
1st Impressions <-- I want to focus on one novel and of the two, I like Thecla better
- The Thecla Series
complete the word total of a NaNoWriMo in the allocated time (but I would be happy to beat my word count from the last two years/ go to an event/ donate to the NaNoWriMo)<-- It's important to me to donate and support causes I believe in. I don't think I can do a NaNoWriMo this year (between the blog and rough draft of a novel)
- back up all writing material on flash drives (and organize)
- Type up all hand written notes and stories (maybe 1 hr. a week?)
- Attend 2 conference/classes about writing
do a publishing pitch
- Enter a contest and/or submit short piece to a journal
Once polishing-- recheck out Writing Clinic and apply the practice.
write a writing guide-- focused on writer's block and continuing the story.
- Fill up one notebook (because I have the bad habit of starting a journal and then buying a new one and writing in that one.)
Screen play for 20 Years Later
write short story on the brothers
have a good prompt list
daily journal, dream journal, BLOG<-- weekly
Go to a reading and/or open mic
perform at a reading or open mic
- create an online writing group
- good prompt list

create a current life's truths list
create a perfect cover letter
- write a short story on Labecca's china story
Read and practice The Artist Journey
Regularly keep in touch with writing friends. have writing night once a week and make it a priority!
improve my spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. And be more focused when writing emails (I tend to switch out words like 'think' with 'like' and 'should' with 'show')<-- not sure how to measure this to make it a real goal.
