Still on the topic of Goals
So, this week I have been working with two others on a workshop on setting and achieving goals for our chapter of RWA (Romance Writers of America).
I have researched the theory behind setting and achieving goals, on "SMART" goals, I have created a chart of a year's worth of my writing goals and worked on how we can encourage our chapter members to set and achieve their goals. It has been interesting, to say the least.
One problem - all this goals work, chapter work and research are taking up my writing time! But since I have gotten half way through this week's goal I am okay.
The dilemma - my goals now say I should be working on a re-write of Money Doesn't Count. But I have been thinking of writing a novella directed at Samhain, and then I came up with another idea for one for Red Sage. So, what to do? The Novellas sound like a lot more fun, would be faster, and have earlier deadlines...
Lesson learned: Leave room in your goals for change...

Pissing off the Techno Fairy
Obviously, I have pissed off the Technology Fairy. She is really mad at me. She toppled my tower, flipped my laptop, boobed my blog and evaporated my edits, all in the course of a week.
I am now working on a way to appease her - some edits to my website. "Oh Great Techno Fairy, I promiss to update my website!" Very, very soon. 
I have only 4 chapters left to edit and Dark Harmony will go off to my friends. This would have been accomplished by now were it not for the above mentioned angry winged one. But tonight I will get some serious work done!
Meanwhile, I am working with two friends in developing a Goals workshop for the Romance Writers of Atlantic Canada (RWAC). It has been enlightening - the research I mean. And the goal setting. I think 2008 is gonna be a great year!

In the midst of it...
Okay, I am finishing the editing for Chapter 13. Unfortunately I am sneaking time to do it while I am at my day job. Ah the trials of the part-time writer - if it weren't for the darn customers at my day job I might get some writing done!
A friend told me "Your goal should be to get to the point where work interferes with your personal life." Well it certianly is, lol! But I think he meant that I would then be able to quit. Sigh.
I'm still on track for getting my edits done by the end of this week! And my novella on interent dating is forming in the back of my mind, even as I send out a note to another prospective and unsuspecting character...er...date.
