Write in 2014 discussion

Beginning January 1st, 2012

My goals:
* Write 100-500 words per day, or, a total of 700-3,500 words per week.
(in case I miss a day in the mist of caring for a preschooler and a toddler, both very busy, lol Though I will aim for the daily goal.)
* Write 1 short story or writing prompt story every month.
* Write 1 novel this year.

Books & prompts that I'm planning to use this year to help me:
* The Making of a Story: A Norton Guide to Creative Writing, by Alice Laplante
* Lost the Plot? 500 Writing Prompts and How To Use Them, by Adam Maxwell
* Writing Motherhood, by Lisa Garrigues

Update:

Week of January 1st: Oops..!

Week of January 8th: 869 words, 1 short story (found here).

What a sweet story :) It's miles away from what I would think of if I saw the prompt, "There was no choice but to surrender." I was expecting some intense spy thriller with all the running at the beginning haha

hahaha I know eh! That's what you'd expect, and it crossed my mind, but that was one of the first things I thought of heh :) I'm a hopeless romantic :)

Thanks for the comment! It's the first story I dared publish online ^_^; I was indeed hoping to fool readers a bit with the beginning... :)
