Oy. Like a hole in the head I need such a thing. . .\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Seriously, People. Blogging three days in a row? And after the oh-so-icky week I had, I was supposed to be watching all the saved shows on my DVR. Not writing. I’m two weeks behind on Castle<\/a>. Two<\/em><\/strong> weeks!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks Karen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So we’re supposed to post our goals. Karen<\/a>, Jennerosity<\/a>, Jenifer<\/a>, Davina<\/a>, Kerryn<\/a> and Kim<\/a> already have.\u00a0Me, I wasn’t ready. I needed a preamble\/chance to whine\/chance to procrastinate, which you can have the pleasure of reading\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh wait, pardon me, I forgot. According to Kim, I do not whine. I kvetch<\/em>. Also according to Kim, we’re having a Wine Awareness Month. I’ll keep you posted on that.<\/p>\n

I work best when not focusing on one thing at a time. I need to put my writing into separate pieces of a virtual bento box, with no two sections being the same.<\/p>\n

It’s like when I go out for Greek food. I order ten plates of meze<\/a> and no main course.<\/p>\n

Wow Melina, way to ramble.<\/em><\/p>\n

So fine. You want goals? I’ll give you goals.<\/p>\n

Project 1:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finish entering final edits into my electronic copy of Daphna in the Rough<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Replace the three scenes I deleted from Daphna in the Rough.<\/p>\n

Project 2:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Redo my collage and discovery exercises for Polly<\/a>. I recently took this fabulous course<\/a>, and I’m loving the whole Photoshop collage thing.<\/p>\n

Add 15,000 words to Polly. I feel ready for this now. I wrote the ending during NaNo<\/a>, but the last act is still missing. I had jury duty last week, which gave me tons of ideas for making sure my villain will continue to be up to no good.<\/p>\n

Project 3:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finish working out the GMC<\/a> for my Evi<\/a> book.<\/p>\n

How’s that? Are you satisfied?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Signed,<\/p>\n

Mel, who will now proceed to go to Central Park and crawl under a rock.<\/p>\n
