So...still unpacking. This week is the welcome week for the university I work at so I've been coming home pretty much exhausted most nights. Which isn't good since I am probably having people over for Project Runway tonight...!
We really just need to get rid of boxes, find a place for my harp music, dollhouse, and R2-D2, and then finish putting the clothes through the washer/dryer and putting them away. Really, that's mostly it. And we need to clean the kitchen.
But that will just have to wait for the weekend, as I am extremely busy today/tonight. Whew.
I will be so glad when we are all settled and I can get back to writing...been thinking about what sort of things I can do, and making some long-term goals for myself...
I might try a poem a month all through September, and then plot my NaNo novel in October, then write it in November...and then back to small things like magazine articles in December.
I'd like to get short stories/articles published before I try for an agent for any of my books, so my goals look like this:
1. Write 1-1 1/2 hours a day
2. Have at least 2 children's stories published (in something like Highlights) before contacting an agent
3. Have a solid draft of one or two novels to send to an agent if asked.
4. Keep writing/revising novels while sending out the first couple so there are some ready.
If I can keep that up, between ScriptFrenzy, NaNo, and writing contests, I should get something published in the next 1-3 years, right?!
...and now to unpack so I can go use my writing desk.
