When someone says they're a writer, this is what the other person imagines:
This is goldfish water. Replace goldfish water with alcohol, and there you have it.
Quite a bit of this...
I need this sweater. Need. But in grey, please.
And the teensiest amount of this, actually. But not as much as you'd think.
It's a commonly-held belief that all writers are drunk hermits. And, yes, sometimes that stereotype is true. I bet you're wondering about me now, aren't you? Please... Like I have the time or money for any of that.
If I'm being 100%--and, when am I not?--the writers I have the good fortune of knowing are always looking for ways to socialize and promote other writers. I mean, sure, maybe we are reaching out to other introverts, but that's gotta count for something. And sometimes we switch the wine or hard stuff for coffee.
In order to get to know other writers and encourage others to reach our monthly writing goals, I'm joining in a project called "Collected Works".
Each month I will post my goals here and weigh in on how well I did at achieving those goals in the previous month. Although I technically didn't participate in Collected Works in July 2014, I DID set a goal.
July 2014 Goals
August 2014 Goals
There you have it, my goals for this month. I have a few more, but I'm going to start with these for now. Feel free to cheer me on in the comments section of this post, or check in on me via Twitter or Facebook. While you're at it, drop by Kathryn, Justin, and Marisa's blogs to cheer them on, too.
