Goals for Next 10 Days

Why 10 days? Because I have decided to start editing my NaNo novel from 12th of December since it’s a Saturday. I considered leaving it for a bit longer, but I am not going to hurry with editing anyway, and I might even take a break in-between drafts. But I at least want to review it quickly to decide what I am going to do about POV. So in the meantime my goals are: Writing

• Review half-finished WIP, RAN (none of my WIPs have titles, so I use acronyms from either character initials or place initials), and organise written scenes in separate files. Then work on an outline
• Work on outline for yet another half-finished WIP, SIM. Just look at it, not necessarily complete it.
• Brainstorm the shiny new idea
• Brainstorm something for next WB assignment
• Resubmit a couple of rejected short stories (I just tend to ignore them when they are rejected once, so I really should make the effort to find new markets)

Reading

• Finish Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman
• Finish Gilgamesh
• Read tips about editing a book

Christmas

• Work on the scrapbook for my sister’s present
• Buy few remaining Christmas presents
• Post International Christmas Cards

Blog

• Blog regularly as per usual on Writing Blog, and make sure to read and comment on other blogs (this slipped a little during NaNo)
• At least one entry on Journal Blog

Misc

• Finish organising books that have currently turned my living room floor into an obstacle course
• Email neglected friends/family during NaNo
• Journal

Fun

• Play Sims 3

And even as I wrote the whole list, it occurs to me that I am going to have a hell of a time finishing all of that in ten days. So let’s see how far I get with this stuff.
