progress from last week as well. If you are a Writer's Workshop lurker, come
and join us in posting our goals for the week. You will be glad uou did!
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. Do the club newsletter, material for which is already a whole week late
coming in!
Done!
2. Continue working up a killer resume.
Didn't get around to this one. (See "On a personal note."
3. Continue working on the August issue.
It's coming along nicely. I redesigned the basic WWR format and it's
looking real nice. Just two more pages to fill.
4. Talk publisher into funding some goodies for the August issue.
Done.
My goals for this week are to...
1. Continue to seek out freelance assignments.
2. Finish up the August issue and get it to the printer.
3. Go look at the publicity photo proofs for the photo I had taken
yesterday.
4. Clean off my desk!
5. Write at least one new article.
On a personal note:
Some of you may have read in a previous post that I received an
unexpected phone call from an editor on Sunday evening, asking me for reprint
rights to a story I'd had published a month ago, in a nonpaying market. I
was so happy! I stayed up nearly all night writing a new article to send
with the one that was requested. I haven't heard back yet but I'm very
hopeful. (Can you believe there's an editor left in the world without
E-mail?)
My husband and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary this next
Thursday. I finally got a new wedding band out of the deal! I'd been
wanting a wider one for several years.
My daughter is spending so much time over at our new neighbor's house
that we now tell her to "go home." Actually it's real nice that she has a
best friend but I worry too because my first best friend broke my heart. But
so far, in the three weeks that they've been together, they haven't had so
much as a spat. But I sure miss my daughter.
My husband is considering a new job he was offered yesterday. It would
be an office job and he wouldn't have to work so hard. I always worry when he
changes jobs though. This one is at the same place he's working at now but
it's a big change from what he's used to and could be less pay. But he's been
complaining for years that he's getting to old to work so hard.
So...it looks like we are both going to go through a lot of changes this
year.

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>
