Esther

Figure out WTF to do so that it works.

Still working on this one. I think I know what I need to do, just hate to do it. I mean, it just goes against everything I worked for these last years if the only solution is to throw it all away. But something has got to give.

Do my part.

Yeah. This one needs more work too.

So�besides the above, here are my goals for the next few weeks

Write the Christmas story. From start to finish.

Go back to my old way of doing things, which is simply what I can.

No, but I'm not bummed, because completion is so close I can freakin' taste it! I'm totally psyched!
>

Did that, and got all depressed. *G* I still love Sherry, and can't wait to write about her, but I don't love the story the way it's going. She and Still Nameless Wonderful Man will have to tell me how it's to play out, but they ain't talkin'.

>
>Get well

Kind of. I have no sense of taste or smell, and I'm beginning to think it's permanent since I'm no longer sick. This is not good.

Page's Goals for November

1) I do hereby vow that I will not let the upcoming holidays derail my writing. Holidays, Schmolidays! I'm an author with an almost completed manuscript, one about which I'm excited as all get out, and I WILL finish it! And I'll never go hungry again. Oh. Er, sorry. My inner Scarlett got the best of me, there....

2) Although the majority of my focus will be on Carey On and the oh-so-delectible Jay Carey, I will continue to jot down ideas for both Royal Orleans and Rhett, because I'm going to need a new book to write. Soon. If I have to steal, kill, cheat, or lie...(Down, Scarlett!)

3) I will continue to download pictures like this one, and this one, because they get me all hot and bothered, and inspire me to write really hot sex scenes! *G*

We'll see how I did in December. (I can guarantee that I'll stick to #3!)

[> [> No actuale "done" sign but some good developments (and some not so good ones) -- Lady Morilka, 06:10:07 11/14/09 Sat

Lady Morilka

Keep up with the board
I was at the top! But than life got in the way again. I am keeping up but barely.

Do some writing herself
Not one stroke this month it's a pity!

Find a new job
Well I didn't find a new full time job but a part time job found me. (one of the reasons I don't have time for much anymore) I do some research for the guy I interned with in the beginning ot the year (remember south africa? that would be them) And I got an offer that I migt get the job prolonged till February. So that is good news at last.

Finish long-ago-started craft projects
Well I finished a few but more pile up because chrismas is coming.

[> [> So far so good... -- Debi, 10:25:56 11/14/09 Sat

Debi

Reach 100,000 words in Old Dogs by the New Year

Almost 90,000 at last count. Hopefully a new scene or some padding will occur to me before the deadline.

Post a couple homework assignments every second Saturday

Two down so far!

NaNoWriMo

Got off to a roaring start, has fizzled a little, but after I post a scene from it here as part of my keeping-in-the-habit-of-sharing thing, I intend to invade Molly's world and catch up as best I can. I'd like to 'win' NaNo, but if I don't, I'm not going to stress about it. I've got the makings of a great story and Molly's not going anywhere.

Oh, and Page, I'll see you hunky man pics and raise you one.
