Checking in on Goals

We're already midway through the year, so wanted to provide an update on goal progress. As a reminder, here are my writing targets for 2008:

1) Submit to Writers of the Future every quarter (no expectation on winning). Update: 50% complete - submit for the periods ending in March & June.

2) Complete NaNoWriMo (50,000 words baby) Update: 0% - NaNo isn't until November.....

3) Sell a short story to a Pro or Semi-Pro market Update: 0%. Have a couple of stories circulating, and have received a few positive rejections (still a rejection, but they encourage you to send another story).

Feeling pretty good, so far. Obviously, nothing can be done about NaNo yet. I'm on track for WotF, which is my big goal for this year.

WotF - Q3

Another 3 months passes, another WotF deadline looms. This time, the tale is a near-future, Science Fiction story called 'Shock and Awe'. Think Orson Scott Card's Ender series set in a time closer to our own, with a backdrop of high school politics.

It's my best writing to-date, so fingers and toes crossed!
