First of all my goal for 2009 was to finish the first draft of my WIP. I finished the first draft at 9:00 PM on New Years eve. Three hours early, that’s good for me.<\/p>\n
2010 goals:
\nI started doing a monthly newsletter in September and did one for each following month of 2009. For 2010 I want to send out a newsletter each month.<\/p>\n
In June of 2009 I created Blog sites for the four main characters of my book. In the last 7 months of 2008 I posted 18 blogs entries, or about 2 per month. In 2010 I want to post at least on entry per week.<\/p>\n
I was inspired my Christine’s flogging. By March I want to have submitted my first 16 lines for a flogging. I’m not sure I can do any better than most of the people who get flogged there, and I have to admit I’m a little fearful to try, but it seems like a first good step to get ready to send my WIP to an editor, where I’m sure they’ll flog the whole thing.<\/p>\n
My WIP has very short chapters. 108 chapters of about 1050 words each (133,00 words total). I’ve created a check list from the things I learned from The Fire In Fiction. I want to do a revision of four chapters a week, or all of them by the end of June.
\nWhat’s the point, Outer turn, Inner turn, Concise dialog, First Line, Last line, Micro tension, Building storm.<\/p>\n
Read the two books I received for my birthday on revisions and getting published by June so I will know how to do the second revision and start on the road to getting published.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
