So even though I certainly signed up on time for this one, I’m running terribly behind on actually posting about it! I’ve decided to sign up for #WriteMotivation again in an attempt to tackle both some need-to and some want-to writing goals before the insanity of the Ozark Conference, NaNo prep, and NaNo itself sets in.
My goals this time around are:
1) Complete 5 poems.
2) Read 3 novels I haven’t read yet.
3) Get at least 1/3 of the remainder of the first Forbidden novel outlined in preparation for NaNo.
Let’s see if I can actually reach them! I’ve yet to hit any set of #WriteMotivation goals, but they’ve always helped me be productive and that, I guess, is the real key.
Speaking of #WriteMotivation people… I got to meet some of them at our Wichita meet-up in August. The very kind K.T. Hanna let us invade her home and play with her corgis for a day. (And since I’m a corgi lover too, I was quite happy.)
TheBarenakedCritic got along well with the corgis too.
Good food and good friends was had all around, and I look forward to our next gathering. I never thought I’d have so many circles of wonderful writing friends! I’m very happy to say that I do now!

Awww! Lovely pic. Wish I’d been able to make that first gathering. I do intend on making the next one for sure! My writing friends are the greatest people I know. Good luck with your goals.
If I did not have a cat, I would so have a corgi. I might still if it wouldn’t annoy Hector too much…
Yes, it was loads of fun and the corgis were so full of the cuteness.
Michelle, get a corgi. Hector will be annoyed until he establishes that he is in charge and not some stupid dog. :-p
Sounds like a good time!!!
I am so excited!! I have changed jobs and am now working at a different school with a different group of kids. The middle schoolers I worked with before were all intellectually disabled so they didn’t write much, but the group I have now have emotional and behavioral disorders, but are academically normal, I have a few that are even gifted and so I am now getting to really teach writing. We are starting a poetry unit next week, beginning with “The Raven.” It made me think of you for some reason.
Awww… thank you for thinking of me! I love Poe. I’m glad to hear you are excited about the new job and I hope it treats you well!
So jealous of everyone getting to meet up! I so wish I could have gone! What fun!!
Good luck on your goals, they seem very doable for you. me…not so much hehe.
Wish I could’ve made the meet up, too! Bit far away, but my sister lives in the area so maybe if it coincides with a trip back to the U.S…
Good luck with your goals, and with NaNo when it comes!
