Time to post your goals for the week of 7/29/95. 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. Keep hunting for more freelance markets.
On-going
2. Locate SOMEONE who can do cover art for WWR.
I'm asking everyone I meet...
3. Take care of some business matters.
In progress and going well.
4. Attend the potluck for Southwest Washington Writers
Can you believe that I completely forgot about this? The potluck was
Saturday afternoon and I remembered Monday morning.
My goals for this week are to...
1. Do the newsletter for Southwest Washington Writers.
2. Locate artwork for the September issue.
3. Write and/or polish several bird articles.
4. Attend screening program at the Employment Security Department.
On a personal note:
I'm on a soap box this morning. Consider that fair warning. For nearly
two years now, I've put up with howling cats in my yard. I don't like cats,
that's why I don't have any of my own. So why should I have to put up with
other people's cats howling ALL NIGHT LONG outside MY bedroom window? I think
they pick my yard because there are no cats living here. (But who am I to
claim any knowledge of cat logic, if there is such a thing.) At any rate,
I've had enough! Today I'm calling animal control to come and get these cats.
I'll catch them and have them waiting! Enough is ENOUGH!
Okay, I'm stepping off my soap box. I am quite nasty at 4:00 A.M. before
I've had my coffee, especially after putting up with that all night. But now
I have a steaming cup before me and I'm feeling a little better. ;-)
This week has been rough. A lot of loose ends of projects to tie up and
not much else to do. There's a period of feeling let-down as soon as an issue
is completed and taken to the printer. I'll be mailing out the August issues
today.
I received a phone call yesterday from the editor of the magazine whose
editor requested some material from me. I found out that they pay a whole lot
less than I expected from a full color magazine so I'm quite disappointed.
But hey, I need the work.
Monday I have an appointment at the Employment Security Department.
Providing I qualify for the program, they will test my skills and assign me a
counsler to work one-on-one with me to develop career goals. Hopefully will
also have some leads on the kind of work I'm looking for. I've been
self-educating for nearly five years and I am anxious to see what my skill
level is.

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>
