GSWC- February Version!

Hey everyone!

I know that it has been a while since I have posted on here. I've been busy with school and work lately. I graduate in May so there is a lot of prep work for getting it done. Also, I have been trying to write more on my novel. Even though I finished NaNoWriMo, my novel is still not done. That means I need to write, write and write. Then, when all of that is done, I can finally look at editing and hopefully, publishing. However, this is my first novel, so I have absolutely no idea where I am going to go with that. I guess I'll just have to cross that bridge when I get there.

Therefore, in order to get me going, I have decided to take on the Get Started Write Challenge. (Of course I know that this challenge was meant to be throughout the month of January, but I feel as though I can switch it up and try it all throughout February) The idea behind this challenge is to offer me writing prompts and challenges to help with getting my book done. I think this will help me get into the habit of writing on my book every day and hopefully I'll finally be able to get it done. I'm really excited about it all.

So, the task for Day One:
Make a list of your short-term and long-term goals, with short-term being something I can reasonably complete in 2014 and long-term something that would take longer.

Short-Term:
- Finish writing In the Eyes of the Enemy
- Find people to help me edit my novel
- Look into what I need to do to compile a good manuscript
- Try to sit down and write something new each week, even if it is just a random scene that isn't connected to any of my WIPs.
- Blog more/ Have a blog page set up to display my short stories.

Long-Term:
- Try to find someone to publish In the Eyes of the Enemy
- Plan out my next novel
- Begin writing my next novel


That's all I can come up with right now for my lists, however I think that they will probably end up growing the deeper that I get into this challenge. I also think that a lot of my short-term goals may end up going under the long-term goals just because of the whole editing/publication process.
