I’d obviously hoped to do this sooner since it’s three weeks into the 10 week cycle (LOL).
The 10 Week Plan is going fairly well. I am a little behind, but that’s due to a combination of issues outside my area of control. According to this week on my big calendar, I should be doing the following:
1. Have finished my first short story of the year
2. be working on my essay for writers #2
3. Have submission #2 of 2010 ready for Sunday
In reality, I have these done:
1. Brainstorming short story
2. Tiny inkling of idea for essay #2 (wavering between two topics)
3. Have no idea of what/where submission #2 will entail. I don’t want to submit another short story to the same market–my evil plan for word domination (ha! I like that!) was to submit once a month. I want to pace myself with that market. But I do need the impetus to get in print and submission is the only way to do that…
What I need is a day off to get my head screwed on straight. THese last few weeks (and weekends, when I get a lot of writing done) have been extra busy. Busier than normal for this time of year so I’m trying to contend with that. I’d say I’m doing OK if I can get either the essay or the short story done over the weekend. I’m angling for the story–these essays are monstrous beasts that overtake days.
So where are you in your new year schedule? On-target? Slipping? Or did you already give up? I’d love to hear…commiserate with me
