Post weekly goals! Give it a try, just once. I promise it will really
help keep you on track with your current projects. Send out the GOAL POST
every week by Saturday. Make it a habit to start posting your goals with
us.
My goals for last week and progress report...
1. Keep working on the July issue.
Only 4 pages left to fill and it's looking good.
2. Send an advertising packet to McGraw-Hill.
Did it.
3. Write a smashing editorial for the July issue.
I wrote an editorial, don't know if it's "smashing" or not.
4. Motivate and inspire fellow writers.
I did TRY.
My goals for this week are to....
1. Finish up the July issue of WWR.
2. Get the club newsletter done.
3. Send out more letters to local editors.
4. Try to locate a copy of N.W. Palate magazine.
5. Avoid insanity.
On a personal note:
Only one more week till school is out for the year. Then I get to TRY
and remember how I managed to get any work done with four kids in the house
LAST summer. Joy. NOT!
I broke down and let a couple of people read some of my poems and both
said I should submit some of them for publication. I'm tempted but I have a
problem with allowing something so personal to be published. How do you other
poets deal with that aspect?
Yesterday I went to the library to research clothing worn between 1924
and 1935. While I was there, I played around on their computer system. I
found out that I can pull up articles and print them out. So when I got home,
I tried their modem number and I can do the same thing from here. So I
printed out all kinds of useful information. Handy tool. Wish they would put
whole books on-line.
I've got one son graduating from 5th grade today and another son will be
graduating from 8th grade soon. I'd never heard of a 5th grade graduation
before moving here. I understand all local 5th graders will be going to a
fancy inn to eat lunch. The graduation is before the lunch and the kids will
be sent home AFTER lunch. I wondered how the place could afford to feed all
those kids for free. Now I understand, they HOPE the parents will also buy
their lunches there.
I got a few copies of one of my photos in a publication the other day.
It looks pretty good. The credit print was TINY and they left the R. out of
my name but hey, it's a new masthead. ;-)
Also got an E-mail from another publication, telling me they had
published one of my stories. Not only that, they said, but you're on the
front page. Cool! And another NEW masthead to add to my collection.

Have a great writing week!

WRITER'S WORKSHOP PRAYER
The Writer's Workshop is a place where myself and several other
writers of vastly different backgrounds in writing, hope to come to
discuss the ins and outs of the writing business. This is a place we
hope will become home to writers who take what they do seriously, be
they beginners or seasoned professionals; people who want to learn and
share with others.
We encourage everyone to share the rejections and of course the
highlights, so that we can celebrate with you. This should be a place of
sharing and a place of laughter, NOT A PLACE TO SHOW OFF OR CONDEMN!
Everyone is welcome to share their views, but PLEASE, NO PUBLIC BASHING!
(Use E-mail for that. <G>
