January started with a bang, most of this was done in the first two weeks. Third week involved the two-year-old and his health issues, and the fourth week was spent on crits. I’d like to do a better job of consistency next month, but overall, I’m pleased at my productivity. I also sent out my VP application. Hard to believe it’s only been a month since it’s out. Man, it’s going to be a long wait.

February alas is a short month, and I feel like I’m starting it in a bad place. I hope I can turn this around. My main motivation is completion of tasks, so I broke the novel down into a different form than “daily novel writing”. I took a good look at my chapters and how they’re typically 2 – 3 scenes, so I’m aiming for 3 scenes weekly. If I do more, that’s good, but at the very least, I’ll get a chapter done a week instead of one per month.
February Goals
- Novel: writing – 3 scenes weekly
- Short Story Drafts x2
- Short Story Revision x2
- Read x2
- Crits x4
- Picture Book draft x1
- Picture Book revision x1
- New Submissions 2 (aiming for my Triangulation story + my writers of the future story)
DAWN BONANNO 
Sounds like you had a good month. Good luck with this one, and I hope your little one feels better soon!
Thanks! We’re in the keeping-kleenex-in-business phase. Now it’s the snowpacalypse school closings dooming my writing. 😉 Ah, well.
