Welcome
to Week 2 of Ready. Set. Write. Simple
is the name of the game. Last weeks post can be found here.
My goals
for this week: I loved how everyone
posted not just writing goals but life goals last time. I'm leaving Wednesday for UtopYA in Nashville
so I'll be gone all week and with all the people to meet and things to do I
don't think I'll get much done.
·
To learn as much as I can, meet new people, and
have a ton of fun!
·
Post a new chapter in my Fanfic that I have been
neglecting (hopefully before I leave).
·
Write at least one scene on my story so I don't
lose momentum.
·
Write up at least two blog posts/book reviews.
A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I
wrote/revised: My main character's first day at a new school pissed off the
queen bee / mean girl. Her way of
telling someone about just made me laugh.
Giving a
dramatic sigh Lexi leaned her elbows against the counter placing her head in
her hands, “She’s a snobby self entitled bitch who thinks the world should bow
down to her. I didn’t bow before her.”
The biggest
challenge I face this week: Finding time with packing and final planning
for my trip and having a few other life things happening at the same time.
Something I
love about my WIP: I am working very
hard to make my female lead impulsive but also pretty smart so her
reactions/decisions make sense.
That’s it for this week. Let's see how I do.
I also liked how others posted life goals. Might add some of those in the next weeks. Great job with your goals and have fun in Nashville. Nice line and keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! Thanks I hope to have fun, I'm nervous and excited all at once!
DeleteSounds like you did great this week! Also - weird - my MC's name is also Lexi. :) And I love her line! Good luck with your goals this week!
ReplyDeleteHaha seems like great minds think alike. Lexi is short for Alexis. Thanks for the well wishes and good luck on yours!
DeleteJealous that you’re going to Nashville! Such a cool city. Hope you have fun at UtopYA and good luck on your goals this week! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal. I'm excited I've never been so I'm excited for the event and seeing some of the things in the city!
DeleteGreat job with your goals this past week, Eve! I think sometimes it's a great trade-off to not quite get the quantity of words we want in exchange for quality. I'd so much rather like what I wrote than write a bunch and dislike it. So awesome job! You chose some good goals for this coming week, keeping this trip in mind. Good luck! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know and I didn't want to tempt myself with any fluff when I really have some scenes that need written!
DeleteCongratulations on doing so well with your goals! The conference in Nashville will probably be a lot of fun, and a great chance to do some networking and learning.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to learning all that I can and yes networking and getting to know everyone. I also hope to do some writing as well.
DeleteAh have so much fun at the con! I *love* Nashville. And yay for your sassy line from your sassy character :)
ReplyDeleteThanks I do think Lexi is pretty sassy! Thanks I hope to not get lost!
DeleteHave fun at UtopYA! It sounds like it will be a blast!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting your goals! It's fun to write a character who's impulsive- you can take the story almost anywhere!
Thanks Melanie! I am trying hard to balance impulsive with being smart enough to think about things as well.
DeleteSounds like you're doing great so far! UtopYA sounds like it'll be so much fun! Hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It sounds like so much fun this is my first year going!
DeleteHave fun at UtopYA! Looking forward to reading all about it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I will post details about it, if not in my next RSW which we are supposed to keep short, then a dedicated blog post!
DeleteIt's great that you're happy with what you wrote this week. I think that's even better than having a high word count. Enjoy your trip! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I didn't think about that but I like it. I'm using that from now on! Thanks Erin
DeleteHave fun in Nashville! Conferences/conventions are so fun.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first time in Nashville and my first conference/convention like this so its nervous and excited feelings!
DeleteHave a great time at the conference, it sounds like a lot of fun! And good luck with meeting your goals.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I want to keep my goals but I'm also realistic!
DeleteLove the line, had me laughing! Conferences are so fun and I hope you check off all your goals for this week.
ReplyDeleteI hope to do the writing part before the trip knowing that while there the chance is slim to none!
DeleteHave fun this week! Love that you added some goals for your time at UtopYA.
ReplyDeleteThe thing you love about your WIP is great - it's such a challenge to balance characters, but so satisfying when all their personality traits finally come together.
Thanks Jennifer!
DeleteI hope to have a ton of fun and not get into to much trouble ;)
Balancing is hard and keeping in character and not changing things to what I would do but what they would do in that scene.
Have so much fun at the conference!!! Please share next time so we can hear about it :) Best of luck with your goals this week!
ReplyDeleteI plan to have fun Carrie! I'll probably be making a dedicated post talking about the trip and I'll be sure to link it up!
DeleteHave fun at UtopYA! :) Good luck with your goals this week.
ReplyDeleteOooh, can't wait to hear about UtopYA! Hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at UtopYA! That sounds amazing! I love the line you shared - and it makes me really like your MC even without knowing anything else about her. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt! I think I'd really get along with Lexi. :) Have so much fun at UtopYA!
ReplyDeleteImpulsive, smart girls are just the kind of girls I want to read about!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at UtopYA! I've heard lots about it, sounds like a great conference. And good luck this week!
