JumpStartWriMO

My awesome and amazing critique partner, Julie Bellon, is hosting a JumpStartWriMo in June. I’ve accepted the challange which is basically to just set a goal for yourself, one that pushes you but is realistic, and make it happen.

This is just what I need to help me really focus on my projects and burn through them.

So here are my two June goals:

1 – Finish revising the 50 pages I am sending to a wonderful agent who requested them at a conference. I’m getting close with this one.

2 – Finish the first draft of A Sister’s Witness: The Powell Family Tragedy so I can start tearing it apart and rebuilding it. I always struggle with self-editing when I’m in the drafting process. I’m excited to have this goal so I can remind myself to focus on just letting the words come. I’ll fix ’em later.

Summer is crazy for me, our Leadership Training that my husband and I do takes a huge, and I mean HUGE chunk of our time during the summer, our auto-shop is crazy busy meaning that my husband and oldest son are working all kinds of hours, and there is this wonderful sunshiny world that calls to me. All that being said, there is a time to buckle down and just burn through it and this is the time. Sister’s Witness is a story that needs to be told. I know in my heart of hearts that it will save at least one life. That can’t be forgotten.

If you would like to join JumpStartWriMo, hop on over to Julie’s blog and pick up this free badge for your site.

Spread the word and share your goals. We can do this!
