This week I met up with my first romance writing critique partner. She is also getting back into writing. We agreed that we needed something or someone to get us going and keep us going. I remembered taking part in a writing goal contest of sorts with ORWA a few years ago. Actually a lot of years ago. We both agreed an updated version would be perfect for us.

So what are our goals? Well this week Sue has to write up a premise for a new story. We brainstormed about one over dinner on Tuesday and then she’ll move on to write at least 1 page a week. I however will write 2 pages a week. I know it seems rather low but I do have a busy and tight schedule right now. So committing to 2 pages a week is doable for me and might at times be a bit of a challenge. But I’ve always loved a good challenge.

What will be the consequences if we don’t meet our goals? Well we’ll both owe $1 per page that we didn’t submit weekly. At the end of each month we’ll donate the money to a charity. It might change every other month.

Have I met my goal for this week yet? Not yet. I’m halfway there. I’m hoping to get another page in tomorrow or even Saturday night.
