Oops, first check in and I’m on spring break vacation in San Diego with the kids.

I’ve been able to get online about an hour in the evening and the same in the AM, but it’s not been too conducive to hitting my goals. I’ve had to use some of that time to check work emails. After that, I’ve not written or critiqued. I have edited one WIP but not the one I intended.

Oh well. I knew about this week of vacation going in ,so my goals stand, though I won’t meet them this first week.

Here’s the Linky checkin list of the other participants.  Give ’em some encouragement.

Goal time again with ROW80 kicking off on 4/4/11. Yikes! I thought I had a lot of time to think about this. I also thought I had a lot of time to do my taxes. I’ve done neither and am going out of town on vacation next week and out of town on business the two weeks after that. Ruh-roh, Shaggy. Looks like I’ll be doing nearly everything BUT writing this weekend.

So…goals for round 2 will look surprisingly similar to round 1:

1. Write 3000 words per week, minimum. This is a little less than what I set for round 1, but pacing is more the point of this goal.
2. Incorporate beta reader comments into round 2 edit of My Fair Vampire
3. Finish first draft of EITHER Sins of Our Mothers or Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.  Words written can count for goal #1.
4. Beta read or critique at least 1 novel and 3000 words per week.

These goals are tough but achievable and different enough from the last round’s that I won’t (I hope) find them too tedious.

No flash fiction goals, no blogging goals, no contest goals.  I’ll still do those things, but when the spirit moves vs. because it’s a goal I feel I have to achieve.

Now…on to that tax return.  😦
