Here are the goals posted in September. How did everyone do?

Daniel Escurel Occeno To mentally plot and plan my NaNoWriMo project for November. When I like what is on my mind, I will write the outline and character description on paper.

Rachel Kolodziej Finish a story for a contest, finish edits on another short story and get ready for NaNoWriMo.

Daniel Escurel Occeno My month of October goal is to prepare for NaNoWriMo in November. Mentally and physically and I even started my runway walk like a male model on the driveway to be mentally and physically in shape to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

Daniel Escurel Occeno Just 15 minutes a day pacing back and forth like during a New York City fashion show. I use my cellphone timer on 15 minutes.

Sarah Myers Hoping for 6 more pages before Saturday

Lois Paige Simenson Plugging away, revising short story for lit journal submissions. New goal, write a short play to practice dialogue. Write a review for a published memoir. Full plate.

Emily Dills Get all my queries out.

Shirley Lee My daughter is having me write a story for my granddaughter where she is a princess that gets saved. All family members will be named as different characters in the story. I’m setting up character profiles for each.

Lizzie Carroll My goal this week is to actually put together a goal lol I achieved my last one, so now I need to go through the process of writing a new one and writing out the actions I will need to do to achieve it.

Shirley Lee To write more than I procrastinate.

Lois Paige Simenson Feel like a broken record…CD…mp3…whatever. Still revising short story to submit to a reputable literary journal. Finishing a play to submit to a theatre conference.

Wayne Manigo To have something positive to report back to our group by the end of the week! LOL!
Seriously….In one of my writing journals, I created a quick and dirty note about dealing with anger and depression. Basically, I explained to myself how I was able to take a day riddled with troubling issues, and somehow managed to convert it into a positive day. AND…every life experience makes for a great story if explained correctly. I may not pitch it to anyone in the immediate future, but I’d like to have it on reserve so submit at a later date.

Wayne Manigo Getting my 2nd annual Free DC Comedy Festival recognized by contacting the media, local bloggers, and writing anyone else who will listen to me. LOL!

Robert Wright MY oct. goal is to finish my second book.

Lizzie Carroll This weeks goals include writing and distributing my newsletter (for my birth business), write 2 blogs (as part of a job for someone else) and also write a couple of blogs for myself. And to write some sort of advertising campaign for my freelance writing so I can get more work and have a more efficient list of my prices.
