Monthly Goals: October

October is one of my favorite months. You'll be unsurprised to know that I love Halloween, but October also means pretty fall colors, leather jackets, vacations, and up here in Canada, Thanksgiving!

But October is also going to be a big month of organization for me, especially where the blog is concerned. I need a stricter schedule for it considering how crazy busy I am with work, writing, and the Challenges. I also want to post more about the progress of Cursed, so you'll be getting more insight onto how it's been going for me. And with that in mind...

Cursed

• Edit and prepare the snippet of Chapter 1. It's currently finished, but I haven't had any time to read over it or send it out for review. I'll be doing that ASAP and it will be posted near the end of the month.
• Finish the storyline of the series. I want to say that this won't be hard to do, since I've got the second story pretty well ironed out and am a fair ways through the third story, but I hit a bit of a roadblock so I'm backing off from it for a while.

Agents of Limbo

• Figure out my series storyline. I originally planned the series as being very, very, very long, but now I'm rethinking that since there are just so many other stories I want to do. I love Leon and Jace, never doubt that, but I have to sit down and make sure I'm going to lead them in the right direction. Think about what I want to accomplish with them.

Elemental Army

• Work on background mythology. I know how the world works and what I want to accomplish, but I have to know how it all works and right now there are still a couple details that need to be filled in. Not worried about it, though. :)

Other

• Plan and plot my story for National Novel Writing Month. This is the big one, but with all my traveling time coming up in the next few weeks I should be able to get at least a general idea.
• Register for National Novel Writing Month. Easy peasy.
• Post more updates on Cursed and the process behind it, including photos.

Well... this list turned out to be a lot longer than I thought it would be, but when I'm flying around all over the place in a couple weeks I'll have time to concentrate on only that. I might even do some work during downtime at the hotel. I always wanted to order room service. ;) I'm heading out in a few days and there won't be any posts during that time, but I fully intend to work on my downtime.

I'm still looking for opinions on what to write for November, if I should make a story from a universe I've already created or come up with something new, so leave a comment! Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta kill the fly buzzing around my apartment and my head get back to work!
