Setting Goals

As Monday morning dawned, I thought of only one thing:  what do I want to accomplish this week?  Easy question, right?  Not so much.  Rolling out of bed, this thought faded as dirty dishes and pets to care for filled the first half hour.  Phone rings and time for a shower.  Writing?  Not even a thought anymore.

Lunch having been eaten, I sat down at my computer.  Now it is time to set a goal and make a plan for the week.  If I publish it online, surely I will follow it.  Umm, maybe.  Facebook beckoned me first.  Then the emails.  Wow!  ADD is in over-drive!  Now I am ready to make my goals known.  After I answer a text or two...

My goal this week is to finish the first read through with line edits on The Cutting Edge.  My long term goal is to get the best manuscript I can ready for queries by the end of the summer.  This is edit number 672 or something.  We'll see how it goes.  Wish me luck!

about.me

As a way to get me social presence out there as an aspiring author of young adult and Christian young adult novels, I have started using about.me which serves as an online business card.  It gives links to each social media outlet you use on in one place.  This is a campaign run by BzzAgent to help get the word out there.
