I'd say mine are to continue whipping my thesis into shape (next draft is due Oct. 7th) and continue working on the second draft for my ya urban fantasy. And read. I need to catch up on my TBR pile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842990939186042342.post-69754885074321887922011-09-02T14:13:49.124+01:002011-09-02T14:13:49.124+01:00My goals this month are to query the heck out of m...My goals this month are to query the heck out of my YA Contemporary.Alicia Gregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660125614529633284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842990939186042342.post-84401332014818988162011-09-02T13:17:37.571+01:002011-09-02T13:17:37.571+01:00Good luck with all your goals - I think your list ...Good luck with all your goals - I think your list is just perfect.

Especially since my husband is a teacher and I have three kids--I feel like my life has always revolved around the school calender. Best part, however, is that now I am also in school again. I took a few classes last year and start two more next week: Creative Non-fiction and fiction workshops at my local community college. Bring on September 6th!JMCOOPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502579831640494971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842990939186042342.post-52237114763736755562011-09-02T07:16:11.164+01:002011-09-02T07:16:11.164+01:00All of those goals sound realistic to me!

That sounds completely inviting to think of things that way. I've also had a life-long love of all sorts of stationary supplies! <br />I'm a fellow campaigner in the Women's Fiction/Chicklit group. It's so great to meet you!Brenda Sillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702163304597782659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842990939186042342.post-7454080978834014582011-09-02T03:09:46.409+01:002011-09-02T03:09:46.409+01:00OH, I LOVE back to school time.

BUT...I do have some goals. <br />I need to get my edits done for my WIP and get it up on Amazon in October some time. <br />My short story is going up next week.<br />AND... most importantly I'm going to get the next project sketched out and on the road to first draft. <br />I also have many plans for things besides writing. In fact, I may actually blog about it thursday. <br />Good luck on your great goals!

I tend to forget to tell new students that they need notebooks so I bought about 10 of them at $.20 a piece it was a good deal! I hope you have a great September.

My goal is simply to survive this semester of school and that means getting A's.
