Goals and Gaols

The stocks at the old courthouse in Williamsburg
Today I visited Craig County. I will be writing over there again for a while. I used to write the entire newspaper there (except for sports) but I left about three years ago.
I was greeted with well, not open arms, but definitely not with stocks.
My work has picked up some and I am pleased about that. I have also started a novel and have written ten pages. I want to do ten pages a week, which ought to be doable. I must force myself to find the time to do that. I have a tendency to put my "paying" work ahead of my fiction and I have to stop that.
The fiction really ought to come first.
I have other goals, too - like writing at least five articles a week. So I am not giving myself much slack. But this has become necessary, at least for now.
And of course I want to write an entry a day in my blog, too.
Goals are good.
Better than gaols, anyway.

  2. I have a few starter-novels, about 5 pages each if you want those....if we compile our many starter-novels we might have something :o)
