Description:

Ever do this? You know know you need to accomplish something writerly. You make a plan to do so, and then next thing you know, several months have gone by and you still either haven't done the thing, or you aren't doing it enough?

Seems like a lot of people are guilty of that. They're going to read a new book for a chapter a day, or write 500 words, or edit 3 chapters on the weekend, and then it doesn't happen. Maybe all they need is accountability.

So here's the swap. Think of something writerly related that you'd like to do this month, and that you can log on a calendar, or a list of some kind. Could be something listed above, or something else.

Use a calendar or a list to track it. This is a free printable calendar you can use, or you can hand draw one, use a page from a physical one, or just keep the dates in a list.

At the end of the month, you're going to send your partner your goal, and a summary of how well you did, and ship it off along with the calendar/list.

For May 2019, my preliminary goal is to get all of the hard copy edits of Mercy #1 into the computer.

I'm going to a lake house this weekend (April 26-28) with a small group of local writers. My goal for that is to enter the edits I've done so far -- about 25 pages) and then continue hard copy edits of the manuscript which is a little more than 400 pages. So I have my work cut out for me.

I'll update after this weekend with an accurate count of how many pages I completed.

As a side goal (overachiever/dreamer) I want to work on a short story for an anthology project. The deadline to submit that story of up to 5,000 words is June 1.
