WriYe Blog Circle January

I decided I would at least attempt to do this WriYe Blog Circle thing and considering one of my goals for this year was to spend more time on this blog. Win, win, right? Right!

As the beginning of a new year, one of the things that is talked about are resolutions or goals for this year. WriYe apparently feels the same.

What is your one main goal for this year? Call it your writing resolution. Not two. Not five. Your main and only one. And why is it your goal?

Well that question is way harder than it really should be. I have actually been trying to decide this for awhile now, and by awhile I mean the last five years or so. Seriously, ever since I won my the first NaNo, back in 2010. That win was the first ever book I wrote, initially back in the 3rd grade. Thank-you Mrs. Davis. Since I finished that book, let me just say it's just sitting there and I don't think I will ever actually edit it all the way. Then I add the numerous amount of other stories that I have written a very rough draft of and all I can do is sigh. 

Yes, I'm rambling. Okay, back to the topic. My one goal, my number one goal, EDIT. I would love to say I will edit my NaNoWriMo 2010 winner Wall of Nightmares but I know I won't. However, my goal is to edit as much as I can. Editing 18 Days and ReFurbished. 

Sure I can say I have written first drafts but as of right now I cannot say I have edited a story to it's Final Draft and dammit I want to say 2015 is the year I did just that. 

I don't have a mantra, yet, last year was "Oh, f* it." This year I really hope it's something else.  We will see in the next month or so. 

Until, next time. 

Happy Writing.

Been Over a Year???

Yep. It's been over a year. Way over a year. Almost 1.5 years since my last post. Let's just say things have changed.

I still love to write but last year, last year was brutal on me. I suffered a shoulder injury, my dominate shoulder to be exact and that put a damper on my writing. Put a damper on a lot of things really. I still have to be careful with it.

Goals change. I spent a lot of last year upset with writing and therefore I didn't write. Now I will. I have a new light under me. However, things in my life need changing and I can no longer devout hours upon hours writing and never getting anywhere.

My goal here is to write in my blog once a month, maybe twice of month. I participate in WriYe, which is a year long writing forum, that has so many different things going on it's pretty kick ass. I also used to to participate in #writeclub featured by @FriNightWrites (Friday Night Writes) goes on pretty much all day on Friday, they do word sprints for 30 minutes on 10 minutes off.

WriYe is doing this blog circle thing, think I'm checking it out, maybe step out of my comfort zone and it.

That's another thing. Stepping out of my comfort zone. I so need to do that. I stepped out a little bit by sighing up for Wattpad, I stopped posting but my goal is to work on that starting tomorrow (Monday).

That's it for now.

Thanks. Happy Writing.
