I've just gone over my goal sheets and realized I've really slacked off over the summer. Part of it is the extra work coming in from my home business. I can't keep the clients waiting, but I also realized that I have to keep my own writing at the forefront, even if I can't accomplish as much as I want.
So, I've revised my goal sheets and here's what I hope to accomplish this month.
1) I've just joined the Historical Hearts Writers Challenge and have posted my goal of writing at least 15 new pages on my Civil War romance, Katie Rose. I'm at about the halfway point of the first draft.
2) I want to enter the first chapter of Katie in an upcoming contest.
3) I want to edit at least the first half of my time travel romance that has just been rejected. I want to give it at least one going over before approaching another publisher, but I do already have one in mind.
4) I'm signed up for an online workshop on writing romance for teenagers that starts on the 6th. I plan to keep up with the work and participate as much as I can.
So, I think I can keep up with these goals. I'll let you know how I do at the end of the month.

Good luck with your goals, Susan! I really need to start doing that myself. Can that be my goal? To start making goals? LOL.
I can empathize with the workload interfering with writing, and you're right, it's important to keep it at the forefront.
Hope it works out and you meet your goal -- and then some!
