Instead of doing a new post every week, I’m going to do one each month. You can subscribe to the post and I’ll only tag you in the first post each month.

So what goals do you have for this week? My goal is to get at least 6,000 words written in my rewrite of my WWI novel.

How did your goals go last week? What are they for this week? I finished my goals last week. This week I want to go through and edit some of my next novella, but I would also like to get some sort of fiction writing done as well.

How did your goals go last week and what are your goals for this week?

My goals last week were a fail with the exception of finding a formatter. This week I want to go through my proofreader comments and finish writing three book reviews.

And now we get to the best and hardest part of the story. It’s where everything finalizes which means we have to say goodbye to our characters, but it’s also the best part because our characters finally get it and learn from all the problems you’ve put them through.

The Climax

The key to a good climax is a satisfying ending, but also something…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? I got about half of mine done which isn’t too bad since I had very little energy all week.
