Weekly Goals

Writing: I fell just short of my goal of writing/editing on my current WiP last week, so this week's top priority will be the same: work on my current WiP every day whether it's outlining, writing, or editing.

Reviewing: I'm sticking with my regular goal of sending out one WYRM review every day of the week until the weekend. It's very doable, but it's worth prioritizing.

Long-term goal: I've set out to create a sort of DIY MFA for myself, a reading program focusing on different novels and short stories that each do one or two things really well. The point is to force myself to read critically, take notes, figure how the authors do what they do so well and then try doing it myself in a writing exercise. I'm still struggling with the creating of the curriculum, so one of my goals this week is to make some progress there. It's a vague sort of goal, but I'm hoping to add more than a story or two to the reading list and have a reading and exercise list ready for one sub-skill.

Of course, my wife might go into labour any minute, in which case I'm dropping all of my weekly goals.
