Writing Goals

9/15/2012

It's common as a writer to have goals. So far, my goals as far as my career on are on track. A few changes came, such as I am doing more contemporary romance now then erotic, but a contemporary can still be just as sexy.

I've always set word count goals as well. But to be honest, I've never made myself keep them. Well, that changed with my latest work in progress. I wanted to have it done by the end of September, in revisions in the beginning of October, and hitting the slush piles by mid October. That's a lot of work, considering my goal is to write 50,000 words. To this date, my longest published work is 30,000 words. 

I am happy to say that Bidding Wars just hit 30,000 words and still has a lot more story to tell. My goal currently is 10,000 words a week. That way if I have a day it just isn't flowing, versus a day it is, I don't feel any pressure to write a certain amount a day. And its worked well. I've completed that goal each week. 

Now that I have comfortably completed that goal for the last three weeks, its time to push it a little. I'd like to say 15,000 this week, but that might be pushing it. So, I am going to go with 12,000. 

I am loving this story and its flowing. I have two readers, reading it as I write, giving me excellent feedback. I know the places I need to go back and work on-- when these pesky characters quit pushing me forward in the story. But, I have the notes written down, and the changes may come when its complete.

Pushing on and upward, that's my motto with this book. I hope to see great things come from it. I for one have been putting my heart and sole into it.

Wish me luck! I might need it, the hubby is on vacation next week.
