Row 80 Check in 10-23-2011

Whew!  This was an action packed week!  I feel like a pest because I needed to post something almost every day.  Sorry about that.  Row80 alone creeps in 2 extra posts a week, and then the contests… Jeez.  Sorry for the email glut

Anyway… My first goal was to write a short story.  I have 1200 words written.  I want to try to make it 1500 to enter a contest, but it might have to be 2000.  I guess I’ll decide when I’m done.  I’m pretty happy so far.  It’s very different from my normal writing.  Not an alien or a space ship in sight!

Second goal:  DONE!  Yes, my novel ends! (At least now it does… Thanks so much Thor for the epiphany!)

Third Goal:  Finish my summary.  YES!  I think I’ve got it!  I have a 1800 word, 800 word, 500 word and a 50 word.  I love them all!

Goals Three and Four:  Enter 50 word synopsis, and “Gasp” writing contests.  DONE.

I also managed to visit about 20 other “rowers”

Goals for this week:

1:  Decide on the beginning on my novel (You can help me pick which one here.  Please take a look if you have a moment.  I’d love as many opinions as I can get.)

2:  Finish my short story

3:  Do at least one, maybe two “Manuscript Rejection” lessons on my blog

4:  Begin editing 19,000 words from my novel

I’m on the home stretch!
