Time to post your goals for the week of 6/03/95. Be sure to post
progress from last week as well. If you are a Writer's Workshop lurker, come
and join us in posting our goals for the week. You will be glad uou did!
Post weekly goals! Give it a try, just once. I promise it will really
help keep you on track with your current projects. Send out the GOAL POST
every week by Saturday. Make it a habit to start posting your goals with
us.
My goals for last week and progress report...
1. Send out at least five more letters to area editors seeking writing and
photography assignments.
As it turned out, I sent out exactly five more letters to area editors.
So far I've gotten one response, from a place calling themselves a
newspaper publisher...yeah right. They wanted money.
2. Rework the first two paragraphs of my novel. I have a weak opening and
it really needs fixing.
Didn't get to this I'm afraid.
3. Wrap up the June issue and get it to the printer. I'm currently waiting
for the art work to arrive.
The issue is at the printer right now. I hope to pick it up later today
and send it out. My artist quit! I need art!
My goals for this week are to...
1. Keep working on the July issue.
2. Send an advertising packet to McGraw-Hill.
3. Write a smashing editorial for the July issue.
4. Motivate and inspire fellow writers.
On a personal note:
My cover artist quit on me without much notice at all. Put me in quite a
spot for July. But as it happens, we have a new neighbor who just happens to
be an illustrator for Disney! She's agreed to do a cover for me. As you can
imagine, she's used to getting paid big bucks so this is a one-time personal
favor kind of thing. I will need a new artist ASAP.
The same neighbor went in to my kid's school to sign her daughter up and
she gave me some great news. Some of you will remember a poem my daughter
wrote that I published in the Young Author's Korner in WWR some months ago?
I'd had her take a copy to school to show her teacher and I remember her
telling me that the teacher was going to hang it on the wall. The neighbor
told me that not only did they hang it on the wall, but it's in the office and
blown up to poster size! You know, I've been in that office several times and
I'm sure I've seen a poem/poster hanging on the wall but I didn't read it
because I didn't expect to be in there long enough to finish it. But I had no
idea it was DaLisa's poem. I'm so proud!
If you haven't bought a copy of WWR yet, I suggest you get your orders in
ASAP and order a copy of our July issue. This one is going to be a keeper.
I'll have a limited print run so order early. They are $3 a copy. Be sure to
make checks payable to me personally. I'm between publishers at the moment
and I'm having problems cashing checks made out to WWR. The address is listed
at the bottom of this post.
As I wait for more work, the July issue is my priority so that's what
I'll be doing most of this week.

Have a great writing week!

WRITER'S WORKSHOP PRAYER
The Writer's Workshop is a place where myself and several other
writers of vastly different backgrounds in writing, hope to come to
discuss the ins and outs of the writing business. This is a place we
hope will become home to writers who take what they do seriously, be
they beginners or seasoned professionals; people who want to learn and
share with others.
We encourage everyone to share the rejections and of course the
highlights, so that we can celebrate with you. This should be a place of
sharing and a place of laughter, NOT A PLACE TO SHOW OFF OR CONDEMN!
Everyone is welcome to share their views, but PLEASE, NO PUBLIC BASHING!
(Use E-mail for that. <G>
