This is my first official baby step into the World of the Row 80 Round of Writing (Mad Max World, I’m sure). A late comer I am, since round 2 is about to end in a few weeks. But as they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
I look forward to meeting everyone on this journey, and may your goals be attained and wishes come true! If not, give me a call and I’ll whip up some good old fashioned magic to help kick it in gear (tip: think pink, bubbly, happy thoughts).
I’m going to keep my goals simple for this round, because quite frankly, I have a tendency to put too much goal food on my proverbial plate, and that usually leads to a nasty case of indigestion (Burp! Ah … that felt good).
So here’s the skinny:
1. Write 250 words per day.
2. Submit a piece of writing to the SJWG Anthology by July 1st.
3. Spend 1-2 hours per day working on plot for my novel.
Oh wait! One more goal …
4. Be able to fit into my bikini again.

Yay Shelly! Welcome aboard. This is a great step to keep your focus. I’ve already submitted a story and a poem to SJWG. I’d love to see you in there, too!
250 words is a very do-able goal. Little steps will get you where you want to be! Good luck!
Thank you, bunches! I’m so glad you’re in the Row80 and SJWG, Jennifer! And congrats on getting your stuff submitted too! Yeah, I thought that 250 words was a very doable goal. I like little steps anyway lol
Welcome and may the words be with you.
I’m a big fan of simple goals.
Also, simple goats, which my eyes sometimes confuse with goals. A complicated goat would probably be a bother. 😛
Thank you, Matt, and may the words be with you as well! Just musing here … would a complicated goat have a braided goatee and live in a tree and eat large wads of paper? 😛
Braided and dyed. 😀
Welcome to ROW80, you know what they say, better late than never (I have to say this constantly in my life!).
I’ve just changed my goals, i debated if it was worth doing when there’s just two weeks, but that’s TWO WEEKS!
Hope you settle in well and hit your first goals 🙂
Thank you, and same to you too, and yes I agree that it’s better late than never, and since I believe we are eternal beings, there really is no such thing as being late lol!
Good luck! I just joined ROW80 as well after meeting Kait at the DFW Conference. I was overwhelmed after one post of the wonderful outreach these writers in ROW have given. I hope to do the same. I wish you well on your writing journey, it’s a learning one all the way, but that’s what makes the successes worthwhile!
Thank you, Jess and same to you! I love the great community of support that writers in general have established, especially the ROW 80 group, which is a boon in my book. And I have to agree with you that it’s a learning process all the way!
Just the way I like my goats!
Welcome, Shelley! Good luck with your goals. I’m growing more and more fond of the plotting part — it’s so much fun!!
Thank you, J.R., and same to you as well! I think you like plotting more than I do at the moment lol. I’m struggling with plot right now, more or less wracking my brain, trying to get all of the pieces to fit. Oy Vey!
