Daniel Escurel Occeno Write short stories and edit a novel in progress.

Alisha Vincent Finish. This. Book.

Kaitlyn Hutchins I have two essays and two scripts due by Thursday for school, so I won’t be doing much of my own writing this week, but any writing is still writing. Spring break next week will be my time for myself. Looking forward to doing a lot of writing as I have no plans for the whole week.

Lois Paige Simenson I am taking a hiatus from writing goals this week and next, other than attend 2 critique group sessions. After that, I’ll be journaling as I travel through Ireland, Norway, and Iceland, with a book draft to follow.

Daniel Escurel Occeno To finish short stories already started or outlined or needing an ending. But I probably cannot send it untill next week.

Alisha Vincent Finish up the last four chapters of book number 2

Rosella M Orozco Just write for 5 minutes I am so overwhelmed this week

Jon Long 7k plus outline a new idea.

Margaret Ludwig Time to get started on a new book.

Daniel Escurel Occeno I still have my allergic asthmatic cough, but I feel stronger with no migrane headache so back to trying in finishing several short stories. It is spring time but summer at the Philippines so plenty of microbugs in the air. I have dust mite allergies also.
