RSW! Week 4

1.  How I did on last week’s goals:
- Well I have written a lot more than usual because Abby over at This Entirety told me about an awesome writing app that sends you reminders to write and makes writing on your phone much easier! Also, I've been reading more, which I should be including in my goals.

2.  My goal(s) for this week:
-  1000 words and, I won't forget this time, but reading!

3.  A word to describe what I've written:
- Change!

4.  The biggest challenge I faced this week:
- Trying to decide between writing or reading, which isn't a bad challenge to have, in my opinion.

5.  Something I love about my WiP:
- I'm watching my characters change and become more demanding and caring. It's really wonderful seeing them grow.

How has everyone's week been?

RSW! Week 3

1.  How I did on last week’s goals:
- Worse than last week with about three hundred words total, but I did a lot more thinking about my WiP and some more brainstorming, so that's always a plus side.

2.  My goal(s) for this week:
- I'm not going to lower my goal at all, it'll stay at 1000 words and hopefully this time I'll reach it.

3.  A favorite line from my story:
- He saw how mesmerized she was with the stones that no longer bore any names. He wanted to know exactly what she saw in them that left her in such a trance. "Why are you so obsessed with these old worn down stones?"
She turned to him, a faint smile on her lips; she knew he wouldn't understand. "Because one day I will be an old worn down stone and I can only hope that someone will notice me and think of how once I wasn't."

4.  The biggest challenge I faced this week:
- I just don't seem to have enough time or energy. I'll have to make time and forget the energy.

5.  Something I love about my WiP:
- I have a better grasp of where this next chapter will go, which may be subject to change, but I'm holding onto the idea for now.

RSW! Week 2.

1.  How I did on last week’s goals:
- Pretty poor. I only wrote about 500 words out of the 1500 I planned on.

2.  My goal(s) for this week:
- I'm going to knock my goal down to 1000 words and see if I can reach that. Hopefully as I go I will be able to increase my goal as the temperature increases.

3.  A favorite line from my story:
"What is the point in owning such a large house if it is empty? Things don’t fill rooms like people do."

4.  The biggest challenge I faced this week:
- Motivation.

5.  Something I love about my WiP:
- I really enjoy getting to know my characters, they're a surprise.

Ready. Set. WRITE! 2015

Ready. Set. Write! is back in gears this summer! What is Ready. Set. Write! you may ask. Ready. Set. WRITE! is a summer writing intensive that encourages goal-setting and accountability, and provides an opportunity for us to cheer each other on wherever we’re at with our writing projects—planning, drafting, revising, or polishing.  This year, your RSW hosts are Alison MillerJaime MorrowErin FunkElodie Nowodazkij, and Katy Upperman.

My Goal:
1. For my goals this week I plan on easing back into writing my WIPs, so I'll try to add a total of 1500 words. It might be a stretch but I'll try.

This summer I hope to get back into my writing habits and rewrite/edit my first WIP and write more for WIP2. Balancing them both my be difficult but it should be fun!

Let's get this thing started!
