Before I went on a writing retreat in mid-September, I put up a list of writing goals.  I didn’t get to most of them on retreat, but I’ve been working away at projects since then.  I thought it might be fun (and good for me to keep things straight!) to come back and see where projects stand now.

Here was the list…

1. Finish revising Guardian III for beta-readers – I completed this on retreat, my main goal!
2. Guardian II revisions based on second-round beta reader feedback – This got done as my first project when I came back.
3. Guardian I revisions based on read-aloud review – I started this on retreat, and finished it within a few days after.
4. First-round revisions for Thorns I, Part Two – This is my next project, and planned focus throughout October!
5. Beta-read a friend’s novel (due by mid-October) – I sent this off to her at the end of September.
6. NaNoWriMo prep for Thorns I, Part Three – Closely related to #4, this is my other October focus, especially as NaNoWriMo gets closer.
7. Continue drafting short stories for planned “Bookstore Anthology” – My main project of late September, I made some good progress on my story of a ballerina falling into Leroux’s Phantom.
8. Stonehenge Circle Writers’ biweekly blog prompt short story – Well, this is ongoing…

So that’s five out of eight complete, which is a nice feeling.  I don’t usually have quite this many things going all at once in different stages. 😀  It’s been interesting, but I’m looking forward to being more focused again…
