JULY GOALS
Jul. 1st, 2014 11:39 amPractical Goal: E Book Publication
Week 1 (July 1st through 4th), I will finish the previous e-book for Harper's Folly, which will also serve to help get me re-immersed in Harper's world (and Harper's head).
Weeks 2 and 3 (July 7th through 18th) I will be compiling two books of Tales of MU into the next omnibus, which already has one book completed.
Week 4 (July 21st through 25th), I will be adding the OT stories to that omnibus.
Week 5 (July 28th through 31st), I will be finishing that Omnibus and publishing it.
Personal Goal: General Writing
I'm going to get back in the habit of random writing more, specifically by getting in the habit of writing in the morning when I first get up. Not necessarily "the big writing"... I've said my write brain doesn't wake up until the afternoon, but it's more like that's when all my faculties come together and I can best do writing that fits into a long-term plan with previous writing and future writing.
But I tend to wake up with ideas in my head, and while I'm not rusty on writing in general, the muscles I use to sit down and just start writing because I have an idea are very out of shape.
I think it's a consequence of being so focused on a single story for such a long period of time, without even many side stories to break it up. I still owe people tailored Other Tales, but it's like the less I write that's not the main line Tales of MU, the harder it is to write anything else.
More free writing will help break that up, and some of it might turn into full-fledged stories, and as a whole it will help me write the other things I want to be writing.
Those are my main goals for this month. I have some hopes about where the random writing will lead, but it's too early to say "This will happen."
