October Goals – 10/13/10

My main goal for October is to submit queries for a features story about a social justice that needs to be covered well.

(social justice) issue* ^

October is going to be a busy month. My main goal is to outline in preparation for NaNo. I’ll also be taking ScreenwritingU’s Pro Series at the same time. Oh yeah, and somewhere in there, I need to take care of my family and feed the animals. Details, details.

To write three chapters of my book . . .

Finish revisions on my screenplay that I will hopefully finish this month. Work on my outline for NaNo!

B) complete and post my first two video projects for my new video production arm
C) build website that pimps B and future video projects
D) pimp all sites
E) complete a novel by Nov. 1 as practice for Nanowrimo

Thanks Debra for chatting with me on your first Blog Radio show! It was great to be part of history in the making. It’s me, Mark Niu, the writer of Juche Rules. I’ll post a few goals since you nearly beat it out of me.

1.> Network hard at several film festivals, and meet at least one good connection at each event, and follow through.
2.> Finish a short video promo for a TV series pitch. I am currently working on it with a friend.
3.> Work on beefing up one of my screenplays.

My goal for October is to write two articles and finish the last of the re-writes for the 2nd draft of my screenplay.

October Goals:

1. Contact suitable UK Literary Agents (I won a Short Story competition & got published in a collection but need to take next steps). Most seem to exclude short story writers.

2. Persuade my 20yr old son to provide me with a paragraph of witty criticism at the end of each chapter of my manuscript about cycling 10,000 miles together from Ireland to Japan.

3. Attempt to break the link between writing and Lindt 90% chocolate.

My biggest goal is to organize my office in a manner that I will actually keep up with. Next I want to actually sit at my desk and write and get off the couch. In between that I want to research and pitch one original story idea to an editor.
