Moonlake’s Writing Goals 2024

For those who have followed me for a while, you might have noticed that I have been flagging behind on my WIP. The truth is that I’ve been sidetracked by lots of things: the application for Outschool that I’ve left aside after the initial failed attempt, a proposed trip to Italy, Switzerland and France in May that I already started plotted last night but I still have the daily itinerary to do before the actual trip, a foray into music shows and a detective show in the aftermath of my best friend telling me that she’s under stress from the suicide of a star (she’s always been a sensitive person and it doesn’t really follow but it is too long a story). 

Anyway, in order to realign things for myself, I have decided to set the following broad goal for this year: To get up to draft 0.84 (since I’ve been stuck at 0.83 for at least a year now). 

Under my broad goal, I would like to set the following mini goals but they might be too ambitious for a year (not sure):

  • Get clear on the story up to the mid-point (i.e. the first part of Act 2) for both my protagonists 
  • Have a clear idea of where I’m at with the WIP and how far still to go on it

That’s it. I’m forging on.
