Goodmorning All! -Week's Goals?

[Nicōle Olea]

Goodmorning everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. I was wondering what were your goals for this week?

Mine-include outlining my novel for NaNoWriMo and folding all of the laundry I managed to wash this weekend!

Toodles!

  My goal this week is to just actually write something on my novel. Seriously, it's been three weeks or so since I've touched it. I'm bad.

Interesting post because I was also thinking about nanowrimo, although in my case it is nanowrimo 2011 because I'm 6 months behind this post. My goal for this week was to try and upload my first novel to Smashwords. I managed this successfully. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/47830 I wrote this book, or 50,000 words of it, in nanowrimo 2003.

Next I intend to edit a book I wrote in nanowrimo 2009. I'm hoping to get this done and self published by August. Hence me thinking about nanowrimo 2011. Do I write a sequel to my current novel? Do I write a sequel to the one I am editing, which is designed as a series? It's a book about a ghost world that exists in parallel with ours. Or do I write something entirely new?

I don't do nanowrimo every year but it's a fantastic way to get an editable novel done in quick time. I'd recommend it to everyone. Not only do you get a lot of words; even if you fail you might easily get 20,000 to 30,000 words in 30 days which is more than some might write in a year. But for me the best thing about nanowrimo is the glow of satisfaction after, that I know I can write 50,000 words in 30 days. They might not be the right words, and they may not be in the right order, but as they say; "there's no such thing as good writing, only good editing," and "you can't edit a blank page."

Mine is to get clear on the outline and plot points from a novel started during NaNo, map out the threads, and write up the missing pieces.
