Ahh, January 1! What a day to set intentions, make resolutions… Well, I did that today. Six of us ladies gathered at sunrise to set our intentions in a sacred ceremony at the time of the new moon. So I am on fire to get things done today! The whole town seems closed and everyone is asleep, but here I am at my favorite coffee shop ironing out my writing goals for the next month.
Awesome.
Here are my ##WriteMotivation goals for this month:
- 1200 words a day on New Adult WIP (has no title yet)
- See if I can’t come up with a title for #1
- Sort through years of poems to cull the ones I want to work on for my 1st poetry book
- Continue work on new adult WIP
- Locate old writing portfolio or at least old writings to create a writing portfolio
- Find out which local magazines are searching for freelance material and come up with ideas to submit queries
- Submit one query to a magazine or website (locally)
The NA WIP currently has 16,212 words with a goal of 31,000… I made a small goal for it but have been working fast on it. I’d actually like it to be longer but that’s a good goal to surpass for now.
It’s been a goal for some time to use iBooks author to self-publish a book of poems because I’ve written a million poems. I may as well shit or get off the pot on that one.
I have a YA WIP that’s been on the back burner for a month or so since I got the idea for the NA book.
And…finally, I have lived in Wichita for three years now and not once have I written for a local magazine! I’m way out of the freelance writing habit. I’d like to get back into it.

I love your goals. They’re totally doable too. I’m always in awe of how much energy surrounds ou whenever I see you, so I know you can do these 😀 And eat cookies.
Thank you! I am an energy worker and Reiki practitioner after all…funny you would say that! 😉 Guess I should have put something up here about that too! I started a Reiki blog because I am starting a Reiki business.

I do believe your goals are awesome. And you will kick butt because you have this amazing proactive energy (and not the facewash! 😉 ) YOU’VE GOT THIS!
Thanks, K.T.! I appreciate it! Little low on word count this week so far…but catching up!
Just because you don’t reach the wordcount you set originally doesn’t mean you didn’t succeed. Every word is a step forward 😀
Sunrise? What is this sunrise you speak of? 😉
Awesome goals. Good luck with them. We’re cheering you on.

It totally slipped my mind but the 10th was my 3rd anniversary of being on the air at Power 93.9! Everyone has an interesting story on how the got here…I arrived on January 10, 2011 in a blizzard for my first on-air shift. Not too exciting until you realize it was my first time ever driving ins now!
