Write1Sub1: Month One

I thought doing Light Ray would be a breeze but between weather and car woes this month has been very unorganized.  I did submit a short this month, my first attempt ever and I'll be finished with my short, titled Road Rage for the moment, today or tomorrow at the latest.

What I've learned so far:

• Create a writing schedule that is realistic.
• Stick to it.
• The more I write the more story ideas I come up with so write them down!
• Reading about others success is inspiring so I'm visiting W1S1's blog & group on AW.

For my other January goals, well I didn't complete them all but it is better than last January!

1 down 11 to go!

Write 1 Sub 1 in 2011

Well, I'm still plugging along at finishing my NaNo WIP (okay I took a little break) but I hope to finish my first draft in January. In fact, in January I'm starting a few new exciting projects.  I made my writing goals for 2011 and one I'm really pumped about is Write 1 Sub 1.

I first heard about it through Story a Day's Facebook page but the idea of committing to 52 stories and submissions in the year was a little too much for me. Not because I wouldn't want to do it but I'm easily distracted and hate not finishing what I've started. Enter their Monthly version! If I complete all 12 months I'll get the Light Ray award, named after the muse of the project Ray Bradbury. You want to join in on the fun too don't you? Here are the details and whether you decide to enter the weekly or monthly challenge it is sure to be a productive and fun year.

Here is my monthly chart:
