Writing Goal Week #17

by Serena on May 3, 2009

Ok, I know I’ve been lax in reporting my weekly writing goals, but I think that I’ve been a bit consumed by Writing Goal Week #14, in which I accepted the challenge of writing one poem per day based upon prompts posted at Poetic Asides.

I now have 30 poem drafts to work from for the month of May. While I didn’t write each day, I did make up days I missed by sometimes writing between 2-4 poems in one day. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I did post these rough drafts as part of my tribute to National Poetry Month; I hope you enjoyed them.

So, for Writing Goal Week #17,

I will work on these 30 drafts to polish them for submission. If I happen to work on new poems that will be great as well.

What goals have you set for yourself or achieved?

Writing Goal Week #14

by Serena on April 5, 2009

While I still have not written any poems along the Blossombones‘ theme of Marked. I have been keeping up with the Poem-A-Day Challenge on Poetic Asides in my tribute to National Poetry Month. I’ve even posted the rough drafts on the blog for you to read, Poem #1, Poem #2, Poem #3, and Poem #4.

Writing Goal Week #14

So to continue this week, I will strive to keep on track with each new prompt from the Poem-A-Day Challenge on Poetic Asides. Feel like joining in, please do so. It’s fun to get those poetic muscles moving, even if you don’t write poetry normally. Think of it as a way to improve your blog writing and your critical thinking skills.

Happy National Poetry Month.

Writing Goal Week #13

March 29, 2009

The last writing goal was to write some newer poems for Marked issue of Blossombones or some new poems for any reason. Not feeling very inspired these days with all the bad economic news, the closure of newspapers across the country, and other personal events. However, the best month of the year is coming, and [...]

The last writing goal was to write some newer poems for Marked issue of Blossombones, but life interfered again. With changes at work and bad news on the money front as a result, I was a bit distracted this past week. Writing Goal Week #12 I vow to be less distracted this week and buckle [...]

Writing Goal Week #11

March 15, 2009

The last writing goal was to continue creating poems for the Marked issue of Blossombones. I still have until April 30, 2009 to finish a bunch of poems for this issue, so this will probably be my goal for a couple of weeks. This week I finished the third and fourth poems I began a [...]

Writing Goal Week #10

March 8, 2009

The last writing goal was to continue work on the third poem I started or to create additional poems. I didn’t go back to the third poem this week, but I did wake up in the middle of the night and write down a couple of stanzas to a fourth poem. I’m aiming to submit [...]

Writing Goal Week #9

March 1, 2009

The writing goal for last week was to continue work on the third poem I started, but it just didn’t happen this week. I really had a tough time juggling work, running a giveaway, posting interviews, and the numerous other projects I had going on. Suffice to say, this was a disappointing week for me. [...]

Writing Goal Week #8

February 22, 2009

The Writing Goal Update for this week is much better than most. I worked on three poems last week. The first poem is nearly done and I think the second one I uncovered last week is more complete than it has been since I put it away many months ago. I started a third poem [...]

Writing Goal Week #7

February 16, 2009

The Writing Goal Update for this week is better than last week. I not only made progress on the one poem I’ve been working on, but I worked on a second poem I had set aside some time ago. I’m not completely sure they are done, but at least I’ve made progress. By the way, [...]

Writing Goal Week #6

February 9, 2009

The Writing Goal Update for this week is not good. I made no progress on the poem, nor any of the other ongoing projects I have. However, I did uncover some writing I stashed away in a variety of notebooks months ago and had misplaced. So, for Writing Goal Week #6: I have plans to [...]

Writing Goal Week #5

February 1, 2009

Writing Goal Update! Progress! I’ve moved beyond stanza one. I can’t say for sure that the poem is complete, but it does have four stanzas now. Yippee. Writing Goal Week #5: Revision, revision, revision. I’m not completely happy with the poem, so its time to go back and look it over. Mull over the images [...]

Interview of Me by Monica of Monniblog

January 27, 2009

I was hopping through my Google Reader a few days ago and stumbled upon a fantastic idea, interviewing other bloggers as a meme. Monica’s questions–asked by Ruth– and answers can be found here. I offered to be Monica’s guinea pig, and she sent me five questions to answer. So here is Monica’s interview with me. [...]
