Daniel Escurel Occeno I really need to write and finish short stories to submit and at the same time continue to edit on my novel in progress.

Keianna Johnson My writing goals this week is to write every day. I have 3 writing projects I am working on. So I will spend 20 mind in the morning at my desk. Have a power lunch (writing during my lunch period) and 20 mins before bed. I started yesterday, I felt productive.

Beth McGee 3000 words for my own book and final formatting of this god forsaken municipal project I’ve been working on for months. Good luck everyone!
