So here we go!
June Goals:
- Write 50,000 words toward my next novel in the Indigo Eady Mystery series, A Guilty Ghost Surprised. Goal! Completed 50K+ doing BuNoWriMo.
- Read four books. Fail. I only read three: End of Days, Wilde's Fire and Labyrinth.
- Post 2-3 blog posts per week. Goal! I posted ten times!
- Visit 25 awesome blogs per week. Not sure. I didn't keep track, but going through my email, I visited at least 75...I'll try keeping better track.
July Goals:
- Write a synopsis of a novela idea I had during BuNo which involves some different sort of characters in a different sort of world. Intrigued? Good!
- Complete 150 pages of final (hopefully) edits on Givin' Up The Ghost.
- Paste together, A Guilty Ghost Surprised. This is what I wrote during BuNoWriMo, but I zipped through the outline and ended up writing a bunch of separate scenes that now need to be added. Not a small job, as I have to now figure out where the buggers go!
- Read three books.
- Platform build for my new blog.
- Contact 50 followers from my old blog and invite them to re-follow me on my new blog.
- Visit 25 awesome blogs per week.
What are your goals for July?
Hey, you did a great job with your June goals. The book reading goal may not have been 100% but you were awful close. Plus, the writing is what got a great deal of attention and that is always good.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck with your July goals. I know you can do it!
Three books isn't fail!
ReplyDeleteOne goal for me - finish first draft of next book.
Wow! Three books? I'm still reading one I started last month. But I'm also beta reading and editing for two other peeps.
ReplyDeleteAngela, I was really close. I only read at night and then I get too sleepy. But you're right, the writing was the most important part and I'm very pleased with that part of my goal.
ReplyDeleteAlex, thanks. It was a bit ambitious. BuNo helped me with the writing goal, and it looks like it helped you, too. Goooo, Alex!
Shelly, I love to read, but like you, other things get in the way. Beta/Editing is time consuming, but how fun is that?
These are great goals! I hope you achieve most if not all of it!

Nutschell, thank you so much:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on achieving so many of your goals. I need to find a way to hold myself more accountable for my goals. You have done so much. Way to go, finishing A Guilty Ghost Surprised.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower from the Buccaneer Blogfest.
Always good to have goals! I need to critique two novels for friends, blog 3x a week for the Buccaneer blogfest, finish edits on 18 Things, and reach 60,000 words on my W.I.P (at 15,000 now). ~Cheers:-)
ReplyDeleteMelissa, thank you! This accountable thing is working for me:)
ReplyDeleteJamie, sooo, not up to much, huh? LOL!
Wow. 50K words in June is just incredible, Gwen. I am in awe. Also I'll be keeping a look out for the report of July's goal!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.
Deborah, I did BuNoWriMo, $50K in 30 days. Otherwise I never would have made it. But it proved to me that goal-setting works!
