ROW80 Goals Round 3

The time is finally here to set my goals for ROW80 and I think I have finally decided on them. Please bear in mind I am a baby writer. Meaning I am new to writing and not that I am a baby or write about babies. Although they may feature. Goodness I am tired. Hope these make sense.

My goals for Round 3 are:

* Complete the weekly Fiction Friday prompts from http://wa.emergent-publishing.com/ (on 'our writing prompts' page). I enjoy spending some time on these prompts as they take you off in a direction you may never have ventured down and I really think that they will help me develop a writing style.

* Spend 30 minutes a day on writing or writing related activities (e.g. planning, researching, revising). So in a week I am aiming for 3 and a half hours of dedicated time. If I miss a day I will try and make up that 30 mins elsewhere in the week. I am not going to put a word count on this as two of my ideas are children's picture books. May change this if I start work on a longer piece.

* Post ROW80 check-ins on Sunday and Wednesdays and also one additional post a week. So three posts a week.

I just noticed something. Round 3, 3 goals, 3 (and a half) hours a week, 3 posts a week....is 3 my new lucky number?

  7. I think the theme of '3' is an excellent one! (I may also be channeling my former love of the tv show Charmed, where the tagline was something about "The Power of Three".) Good luck on your goals for this round. Looking forward to reading about your progress!
