Fellow ROWers...I'm back! Dun dun dun! I took a break from Round 1 since I'm revising my manuscript and since I didn't have specific goals for the revising process (except to get 'er done) and I figured my updates would be pretty boring, I figured I'd save you from that. You're welcome.
BUT....
I'm ready for the next stage in my writing and in need of my ROWers' and blogging buddies' support. For my blogging buddies who don't know what ROW80 is, it stands for
A Round of Words in 80 Days. In every 80 day chunk (AKA Round) you come up with your own writing goals. And they can be changed at any time, based on circumstances in your life or progress with your WIP. I love ROW80!
So, without further ado,
my writing goals for ROW80 Round 2:
1) Research agents to send query letters out to and submit first batch of queries before April 12th. Continue sending out queries and requested materials based on responses.
2) Continue revising my manuscript based on beta readers' feedback.
3) Write a chapter a week for my new writing project. More is awesome. At least one chapter is doable.
4) Comment on fellow ROWers update posts. :)
That's it! Anyone else participating in ROW80?
A chapter a week?!?! Oh wow - good luck! You can do this - yes you can!! Yay! Take care

Thanks for the encouragement Old Kitty! :)
DeleteAwesome, good luck with your goals!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cortney, and thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteGood luck with your goals! A chapter a week sound tough!
ReplyDeletePositive motivation abound! You can make your goals (one chapter a week isn't THAT bad...) and you'll execute them flawlessly! Good luck on the query letters. They scare me >.>
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, queries scare me too, but I've decided to just be bold and get them out there already...
DeleteI'm not a ROW80 participant but I look forward to seeing how you progress with your goals. You have some great ones lined up and I wish you be the best as you query :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I'm not participating this round but I'll be rooting you on!
ReplyDeleteAww, I'll miss ya ROW buddy, but I definitely will be checkin' out your blog weekly--can't wait to hear if you get an agent soon! :)
DeleteBest of luck this round, especially with the dreaded query letters! :)
ReplyDeleteWow - you are doing GREAT with your goals! I'm cheering you on from the sidelines! :-)
ReplyDeleteQuerying in batches is definitely the way to do it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. Can anyone recommend how many to send out the first time? I'm thinking 5.
DeleteA chapter a week is a great goal. Good luck with your querying!
ReplyDeleteExciting that one project is ready to query and another is on the go! One chapter a week sounds like a great goal, have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to return the favor and wish you luck on your goals. And your #1 deserves some additional best wishes and happy thoughts. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals! I'm a new ROW80er and also tentatively looking at sending to agents in the next few months, so will be interesting to see how you get on!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you "came back" (but don't ever feel like you have to leave because you're boring us... Not all check-ins are writing related). You've got a nice, concise batch of goals there, though a chapter a week.... I'm impressed. Great for you!
