March is Down and Out - Looking Back at Goals

[queenoftheskies]

I'm glad March is over. I'd have to say it was one of the worst months ever. But, it's gone...and hopefully, quickly forgotten.

I did a really poor job on my goals for the month.

Goals for March:

Write 2,300 words per day, for a grand total of 71,300 for the month.

Reality:

I didn't get anywhere close. I ended up with 29,320 words for the month. No excuses. I just couldn't do it.

Finish edits on Wildfire, which includes adding an additional 30,000 words and doing another run-through edit.

Reality:

I did some edits on Wildfire. Wrote a new first chapter and reworked a lot of the second and third. Got distracted. Didn't finish.

Finish Pawns of Destiny.

Reality:

Nope. I worked on it some. Didn't finish it.

Work on Xanali and/or possible prequel to Out of the Darkness.

Reality:

I did do some work. Not lots, but some.

Query three more agents.

Reality:

I did not do this. I wasn't ready.

Submit at least one critique/review for each of the groups I belong to.

Reality:

I did not do this either. Did some critiques off lists/groups for people, though.

Submissions to Date:

Short Stories: 1

Haven't heard anything yet. It's been out almost 9 weeks.

Queries:

Novels: 2
Rejections: 1
No Response : 1

I'm sure the no response is a rejection, but I'll give it another month before I move it officially.

And...that's about it. March was a sucky month for goals. :)
