April Goals

March went very well for me! I hope it did for you as well. Here are my goals and the update of what has been done.

• Finish sewing quilt squares (Done!)
• Finish quilted skirt? (Done!)
• Promo books (Done!)
• Edit #2 and #3 of All the Way (Done!)
  
• Read 2 Writing books (Done! Mostly. I read and reviewed one and started another)
• Outline He Leadeth Me (Done!)
  
• Finish Blog Posts for Indie e-conference (Done!)
• Keep up with reviewing the books I read (Done!) #1, #2, and #3
• Edit #1/Type-up of He Hideth My Soul (Halfway done as I expected to get.)
  

April is going to be busy for many reasons, but mostly because I am doing Camp NaNoWriMo. I’m a cabin leader on the Camp NaNo website and a friend and I started a Facebook group to help encourage writers. Let me know if you’d like to join. As for my specific goals for April, here they are:

• Keep up with the Facebook group
• Write 2,000+ words per day
• Promo books on twitter
• Finish two writing books
• Keep up with reviewing books read
• Edit All the Way and send to proofreaders
• Get Be Thou My Vision and Blessed Assurance on Pronoun
• Total word count goal: 50,000

I think that’s everything for this coming month for me. What about you? Have you made any goals for April?
