Today’s challenge is to set my short-term and long-term goals for my writing.

Short-term goals:

• Finish the October challenge.
• Finish the second draft of my novel – this year.
• Pray that Hurricane Joaquin stays away from the East Coast.
• Start writing the first draft of my second novel. Preferably this year, but January 2016 works as well.
• Continue my blog after October of this year.
• Get my three-year-old potty trained.

Long-term goals:

• Have my first novel in the hands of an editor for the final touches by this time next year.
• Continue writing my blog
• Potty train my two-year-old
• Win the lottery
• Attend a writing conference

I wish it was more original but after cooking two dinners, and washing four loads of laundry, I’m too tired to think of anything else.
