Date: 2014-05-30 01:28 pm (UTC)I set a goal of 5,000 words for today. I've written a thousand so far and I'm making good progress on a short story I've been working on for a while. I would love to finish it today and that might actually be possible. Then I could spend the next day or two revising and finally send it off to beta readers so I can start getting experience with getting feedback. I've been writing for years but I have almost no experience with responding to critiques so I'm nervous and excited to see how that goes.
I also picked out a pen name the other day after making my last post. I've set up several accounts under that name, including a Wordpress blog.
I have another goal for myself too. I want to start subbing a story by the time I go to my next psychiatrist appointment next month. Getting to talk to him about meeting a goal is always a great incentive for me. I always feel good about talking to people who have seen me at my worst about how well things are going.
