Doot's Weekly & Long-term Goals..

Hiyas Folks! Below find the weekly page I bring with me to meetings.This shows my weekly goals as well as the progress I am making on the stories I work on:

WEEKLY GOALS 2/28-3/6 (in bold)

“My Friend Jack” (Contemporary Short Story)

90% - Finish story for upcoming Adv. Critique by 3/8

Enter and Win SS Contests, future publication

“Spring in the Fall” Ver. 1 (Supernatural version)*

100% Done, rewrite crappy ending

Enter in Sci-fi/Fant. SS Contest, future publication

“Spring in the Fall” Horror version*

10% done..get to 33%.

Enter in Horror SS Contest, future publication

* - I have these two stories both dealing with the same opening premise but different characters and very different endings. The first story is done, but the ending is total crap. The 2nd story is longer, more involved, and with more drama (horror) and action. It's also going to be significantly more difficult to write. With that in mind, I am slightly intimidated and hesitant to work on it at the moment with all the other stuff I have going on. I may ultimately take the original story and combine it with the 2nd story. I think that will work best in the long run...We'll see..

Beauty of Grey (Coming of age Novel)

33% Done of original, on hold indefinitely

5% Done of rewrite (1^st person). Get to 10%
