It has begun!

 

#ROW80 round 01 of 2012 starts today! (I’m on the road back home at the moment. To me, the round will start tomorrow).

Are you ready?

This is the second round I’m participating. Last round was a success and I hope to repeat the same outcome ;)

 

My goals for round 01 of 2012:

  1. Participate of the EditPalooza workshop offered by Savvy Authors from Jan/2 to Feb/4. (I’ve been warned this is super hard work and consumes many hours of the day. Let’s see if I can keep up!)
  2. Write a novelette (10-15,000 words), revise it and sub it (due Feb 1st).
  3. Write a novella (20-40,000 words), revise it and sub it (due April 1st).
  4. Write a novel (or get as far as I can with it). Actually I’m thinking about re-writing some of my old novels, the ones I wrote when I just started down this path. The stories are good, but the writing isn’t lol I keep saying I need to re-write them, so this might be the time to choose one and get it over with.
  5. Read 1 book per week.
  6. Social network: tweet, read and comment on blogs, and blog at least once a week (not counting #ROW80 checkins).

Not necessarily in this order.

Check-in posts are due Wednesday and Sundays, but I’ll probably only check-in on Sundays for the whole week.

My check-ins will be posted on my blog, under the #ROW80 category, which makes it easy to find them.

  2. Very lofty goals, Juliana! Best of luck with them. I love reading everyone’s new goals for the round. It’s so exciting and ambition is in the ‘air’…ha!

    Two completed pieces and a novel start or re-write will be a feat to accomplish. I think it’s just great that you are aiming so high. Aim high, hit high, right?

  7. Juliana, these goals all sound great — a novella, novelette, and all (or part) of a novel are amazing. I’ve been kicking around the idea of trying out shorter pieces of fiction, if only because it seems to take me ages to complete a novel, but we’ll see.

    Happy new year, and have a great week!

  12. LOVE your goals Juliana! They are fantastic and I can’t wait to hear how you make out with EditPalooza (love, love, love the NAME)! And I really like the idea of re-writing some novels you already drafted. I keep reminding myself that I can run with an idea and even if my first novel sucks, I can always use it as a first draft and rewrite it if the idea rocks my world. LOVE that!!!
    Here’s to you achieving all the ROW80 success!!! I’ll be here to cheer you on!!!

  14. Good luck with all of your goals this round! You’re going to be busy, but I know you’ll get it all done. I’m joining the round too and will post my goals tomorrow. :)

  15. Brilliant goals and exciting to have different projects in the pipeline. I look forward to hearing all about editPalooza, have never heard of it before!

    Have a great week!

  16. Hey Juliana! I’m getting into writing shorter pieces than novel length, too. So, I’m excited to see how you do on yours! You have a lot on your plate, but you’ve thought it out well. Wishing you much success!

  17. editpalooza – where have you been all my life?? what a great idea. good luck with all your goals! i look forward to reading about your progress!!

  18. Hi, Juliana! Your goals are ambitious, but it seems you have a good plan. EditPalooza sounds fantastic; I need to check it out.
    Happy 2012! Good luck to you!
