What are your writing goals this week?

-Plot development?
-Chracter development?

Finish at least one Winter Holidays entry.

Tidy up a long outstanding story that has become bogged down.

Goals? Maybe I'm a different writer than those writers who need to do an outline before they write but I just write.

I never stare at a blank page while wondering what I'm going to write. The inspiration just flows until it stops six or seven hours after I sit and then returns the next day.

Today, my goal, if you want to call it that, is to finish a chapter to submit to Literotica over the next few days.

Tomorrow, my goal is to submit a chapter to a different story that I'm writing.

I write six to twelve stories at a time. When the inspiration stops on one story, I return to the next. Normally, on a bad day, I write a thousand words on one story. On a good day, I write 3,000 to 5,000 words on multiple stories. On my best days, I've written as much as 10,000 words in a sitting on several stories.

Then, when I've written enough on a story, I read them over and over and over again.

My goal is to be a better writer.

What's your goal?
 
to hit 50,000 words.

I'm doing NaNoWriMo and my word count it at 48448 right now
 
Since I am supposed to be doing NaNoWriMo, the goal for the week would be to get back on it and crank out the 6011 words per day I need to average to pull it off. I've done that for contests and other publishing deadlines, but never for a solid week. Might be fun trying to see if I can do it. (yes, procrastination is one of my hobbies. why do you ask? :eek: )

Even though I taught goal setting as a professional trainer and motivational speaker in a previous life, I have found setting too specific a goal with writing can be self-defeating...for me at least. I believe the most achievable and productive goal is not any kind of specific word count, but rather the target of: Write something, anything, each and every day. When I follow that ideal, I find my productivity just goes up automatically.

I had a new (Christmas eve party) story idea this weekend, but I have a brother sister incest story I started a month ago that I should tie up. Ten or fifteen more pages should conclude the first chapter.

Every day I work on developing an iconic character like Philip Marlowe, James Bond, Parker, Joe Pike et al. My guy, I call him COLE, is a blend of Hannibal Lector and Anton Chugir and other arch bastards. He doesn't like kids, he buys all the pussy he consumes, he has no ethics or morals or friends. But he needs a passion or hobby. Maybe mastery of chemistry. His attitude about women is identical to his attitude about his car mechanic or drycleaner or short order cook at the diner where he eats. I DONT MARRY THE GUY CUZ HE SELLS ME A PLATE OF SLICED TURKEY ON WHITE BREAD, COVERED WITH GRAVY, A HAWAIIAN ROLL, AND GREEN BEANS FOR SEVEN BUCKS.

Cole has better hair that Anton Chugir though right?

WTF is it with Javier Bardem and the fucking hair? at least half the films I've seen him in it looks ridiculous.
 
Also, thank you to both JKendallDane and Loquere. I'm sure I will too
 
Goal?

To write when it is enjoyable to do so.

To fight with my spouse or play Dominations when it isn't.

Include alcohol.
 
Answers

1. I'm a beer snob, but bourbon works too.
2. Nate was more of a repairman. He tended to fix the errors committed by the Gods.
 
My goal is to write more.

My goal this week is to make it through the week.

Otherwise I don't bother with goals.

I just slide by.
 
1) to finish my Winter Holidays story
2) to finish my FAWC6 story
3) to add to the erotic art poetry challenge
4) to push my own erotic writing beyond its current limits
 
Nate

Nate will never die, he's the last Markovian... Though, I suspect he would like to pass on.
 
I have one story in the writing and another in the editing. I am also editing three stories at different stages. My goal is to keep them plates spinning.
