What are you guys talking about?

 

[Benjamin Clayborne]

What aren't we talking about?

 

[Philip Overby]

Let's talk about our goals for the year. (Make this thread a bit more productive)

By the way, Benjamin, thanks again for that spreadsheet you sent me. It's been awesome with keeping up with where I'm sending things.

My goals for the rest of 2012:

1. Finish my novel (finally), hopefully I can accomplish finishing the first draft by the end of August, I'm hoping
2. Send off more short stories. I've found a couple of markets I'm interested in getting into, so I'm going to submit ad nauseum to them.
3. Start work on a new novel. I'm chomping at the bit to write something new, but I'm not letting Creative ADD get me down. I'm sticking with this one I'm on until the end. Come hell or high water!

My goals, in no particular order:

1. Work for acceptance of my novel by an agent or publisher, no matter how many people I need to submit to.
2. Continue work on my other WIPs in the hope of finishing at least one of them by the end of the year.
3. Do well in my next semester of college and get all my credits figured out. (I know it's not writing-related, but still, it's a goal.)

 

[Rikilamaro]

Phil productivity can be highly over rated.
My goals for the next year:
1. Finalize the resolution of my marriage. It's only taken 3 years at this point. I know, over share.
2. Finish nursing school.
3. Pass NCLEX. = become a nurse.
4. Do a happy dance.

Those were all non-writing related. So here's some more:
5. Finish editing of my book and get it published.
6. Finish writing second book in series.
7. Do a happy dance.

 

[Benjamin Clayborne]

My goals:

1. Conquer Earth.
2. Destroy Earth (only if 1 fails - if I can't have it, no one can).
3. Self-publish my NiP.

I actually got first sketches from my cover artist today, and they're pretty good, and she had some awesome ideas about how to improve on my suggestions. I'm super excited to see what she sends next. With a little luck, this baby'll be on (virtual) shelves by my target date of July 23!

1. Quit making goals for the year.

 

[Steerpike]

I'd like to sell the short story I have out to a paying market somewhere. In addition, I want to finish the story I am currently working on and self-publish it.

 

[Philip Overby]

Ok, new topic. What are you reading right now? I'm reading "The Last Wish" by Andrezj Sapkowski. I'm really digging the Witcher stuff. It's dark, but not too dark. And it's rather light reading in that I don't get bogged down with a lot of dense language. I'm also reading "Blood Meridian" at the same time, which is decidedly NOT light reading, but is pretty awesome.

 

[T.Allen.Smith]

Reading list:
1) Finish the Mistborn Trilogy (half done)
2) The Assassin's Apprentice - Robin Hobb
3) Blood Meridian

 

[Rikilamaro]

I'm currently rereading the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks.

Suggestions for what to read next are welcome!

 

[Philip Overby]

A lot of people are reading "Blood Meridian" it seems. Is it just me, or does it sort of "feel" like a fantasy story in some way? I know it's not, but it just feels like that for some reason.

What else do you like to read Rikilamaro? Maybe I can suggest something.

 

[Benjamin Clayborne]

All I'm reading right now are my magazines (EW and The New Yorker) and my own damn book, for editing.

 

[gavintonks]

finally finished wheel of time 13 could have indexed a lot of the stuff and about 4 really good chapters the rest when I remember it I will tell you, plus some appalling telling and some really horrible god pov discussing the characters thoughts and feelings, just like a lecture
one more to go and hopefully it will not dispaoint

ok as the great dane specialist when they are not creating mountains of bio mass they seem to like chewing shoes,

 

[Philip Overby]

So is this thread dead for good?

NO!

What do you want to be remembered for after you've been long gone?

 

[gavintonks]

whats the use of being remembered when you dead?
and on the third day it rose again according to the scriptures
