ROW80 and Giveaway Winner

My first giveaway ended on Monday night and the winner is: Cayce.  I've sent her the audible download code for BZRK by Michael Grant.  Thank you to everyone who entered!

Today is the last check in for ROW80, the writing challenge I've been doing.  These were my goals for the round:
Finish the first draft of the YA novel
Finish the second draft of the current screenplay
Rewrite the Werewolf short story
Write two new short stories
Come up with names for all of these projects (because they are all untitled) and the mermaid one, too.
Break the next screenplay.

I finished most of my goals.  As I said previously, I have both short stories planned out, but was swept up by a new idea for a middle grade novel that I am currently working on (and loving).  I'm not thrilled with the screenplay rewrite and I never sat down with a beat sheet and stack of notecards to plan out a new screenplay, although I have three screenplay ideas that I love (all with amazing titles that I also love).
For the most part, I am really happy with the progress I've made.  I have so many things that I want to work on and I expect the hardest part of round 2 will be deciding which projects to focus on.  I'm still doing my best to create balance in my life, but I'm not burnt out and I'm looking forward to challenging myself even more in the next few months.  All I know for sure is that there will be a lot of rewriting.

  5. Get back to writing because I want some more new reading material!!! I call dibs on the first draft you are willing to show people of the middle grade novel. And the werewolf one...didn't you say you had something coming with werewolves...

  6. Wow, you did terrific! What a great list of goals. I loved seeing most of them crossed out! It's fun to have so many story ideas swirling around in the brain. If only we could have time to write them all...
