Writing Goals 2019

Once again, I last updated in November....

So last year's writing goals. Let's look at those first.

1. Complete at least 15 of the Writing Excuses homework assignments.
I didn't do 15 of them, but I think I did at least 7. They did help and I think I just need to commit to them better. (And remember that this was a goal of mine earlier than late August)

2. Finish Twin Tales.
I failed here. Book 2 is not done yet. But I did start posting.

3. Revise Restoring Faith
Absolute success. I decided to rewrite this story as my nano 18 and although I still have more to write, it is a way better story than it was before.

4. Write something non-fandom
I did this as well! I specifically enrolled in a creative writing class and wrote a totally original short story that used no previous characters, no previous settings, just completely new stuff.

Goals for this year.

1. Complete at least 15 of the Writing Excuses homework assignments.
I'm gonna try this again.

2. Finish Twin Tales book 2.
I'll set a more reasonable goal this time since I'm working on editing, writing, and planning in different parts of this story.

3. Finish Restoring Faith.
This goal specifically should be done by about March when I trade it with another friend who also rewrote an old nano.

4. Remember this blog exists.
I don't know entirely how I want to use it, but I think it helps me to reflect on what I'm learning while I write and writing it down is important.
