Mailbox Monday #12, Writing Goal #2


Mailbox Monday on Sunday has returned. Mailbox Monday is sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page. I only received one book in the mail this week, which is a fine departure from the last several weeks.

From Danielle at Sourcebooks, I received:

1. Two Shall Become One: Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy by Sharon Lathan


Writing Goal Week 1:


Apparently last week was not the week to start my writing goals. I was sick as a dog with some kind of flu or cold. I spent a lot more time sleeping and less time reading and writing.

This time I failed to meet my writing goal, though I do have a poem idea running around in my head.

Writing Goal Week #2:

I will repeat my goal from last week and accomplish it this week. I am determined. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in myself. Here are the goals:

a. write one poem
b. write 5 pages for my novel
c. or rework my short story that I had shelved over the last few months.

Stop back tomorrow for my TLC Book Tour stop with Kirk Curnutt's Breathing Out the Ghost.

I wouldn't be so disappointed in yourself. You were sick, after all. Good luck this week.

I have the Sharon Lathan book, too. Can't wait to see what you think about it.

That book looks wonderful! I just received an email from the publicist, and it sounds fun.

Good luck on your writing goal.

Thank you for stopping by the 'mailbox' this week. Enjoy your book and good luck with the writing goal.

I haven't posted any of my personal goals on my blog, but I exchange a 3-item "project list" with a good friend each week. It helps us both to feel accountable for tackling the goals, since we report progress (or replace an item that's completed with a new goal) each week.

Dawn: Thanks for mentioning that...what a great idea...now if I can get anna to join in the fun! LOL
