Goals
June 30: Finish Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice
July: Do Camp NaNoWriMo
August 15: Finish Camp NaNo story
August something (UM move-in date) Finish big picture revision of Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice (e.g. no plot holes, outlines for scenes to be written/rewritten)
September 30: Finish revising Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice (e.g. all necessary scenes written, rewritten, or deleted; characters refurbished)
October 30: Finish line edit of Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice
November: Do NaNoWriMo
I do not have any big goals for December because it will be finals and then coming home for christmas/new years, and I'll spend all my time seeing people I haven't seen since August.
Additionally in the months during which I am only editing, I will write at least one short story.

I've been doing some thinking, and I've realized that weekly writing goals (in terms of amounts of writing) just don't work. I'll have more time now that it's summer, of course, but I still don't think it will work.
So what I think I'll do is work on long term projects, and set up a way for that to work. My way to get things done: spend at least 15 minutes per day or 2 hours per week working on a project.
