Ready Set Write 2015



This year, I'm participating in Ready. Set. Write!

It's a summer writing intensive for goal-setting, accountability, and an opportunity to cheer each other on as we work toward our writing goals!

A huge thank you to Jaime Morrow, Katy Upperman, Erin Funk, Elodie Nowodazkij, and Alison Miller for hosting!

This Week's Goals:

1. Finish new scenes for Chapters 1-5 of YA sci-fi
2. Read one "fun" book
3. Read one "research" book
4. Post reviews of the last five novels I've read
4. Plan edits for Chapters 6-15 of YA sci-fi

Overall Summer Goals:
In early summer, I'll mostly be working on edits to FARLIGHT- my YA sci-fi. Once those are done, I can turn my attention to AVA OF THE ISLAND - my MG contemp.

1. Finish YA sci-fi edits!
2. Write 1500 words 3 days a week [ babysitter days ;) ]
3. Write 250 words 2 days a week
4. Read 15 books (at least 5 classic sci-fi and 5 debut authors from 2015)
5. Write synopses for the subsequent books in my YA sci-fi series

  2. Read one "fun" book... that's something that people often forget to allow themselves in these challenges. Time for some fun. Good for you, Carissa

  3. Your overall summer goals are more focused on what you should accomplish week-to-week, in a routine, and I think that's great for success! I like your reading balance this week for one fun book and one research book. Good luck this week & all summer, Carissa!

  7. I like your reading goals! I don't read a lot of sci-fi (I tend to get confused by any mention of space and/or technology lol), but I always try to read at least one or two in that genre each year.

    Good luck this summer!
