I didn't really let my thought settle into place on this one, I just sort of started writing. I've been thinking about maybe doing a realistic fiction about some of the experiences I've had in middle school(I'm writing those in my brand new blog so that writers who want to write about middle school and something unique can write something different. There's no bullying in my stories, and most novels about middle school are centered around bullying. feelinguncreative.blogspot.com).<br />I was also thinking about creating a futuristic ice age world, and now I'm really liking the idea of combining those two, which takes us into my next goal:<br /><br />-- Actually sharing this new one with anyone - Since this one I'm thinking about is so true and close to home, I'll have a little bit of trouble showing it to my parents. *sigh* <br /><br />Overall, I'm excited for this year!<br /><br />Bridget Swan | FeelingUncreative.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-10786548923235351852018-01-13T15:29:34.524-06:002018-01-13T15:29:34.524-06:00Wow...

I like it, but it was definitely different :D <br /><br />Love the idea for a gtw conference if that ever happened! Would it allow people who aren't teens to attend? <br /><br />That is certainly something I've loved about this blog, how I've been able to learn and grow without being pressured to buy. Even though I did eventually buy the book just because I wanted to :DKeturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-20978498103325069912018-01-10T08:23:33.088-06:002018-01-10T08:23:33.088-06:00I'm so excited for this beautiful new year of ...I'm so excited for this beautiful new year of writing! One of my biggest goals is to finish my novel, Killing Snow, which currently only has half of the first draft done. But I'm working on it! Another goal is to (maybe) pitch a novel when I go to Realm Makers in July, but we'll see how that goes xD. <br /><br />Savannah | <a href="http://scattered-scribblings.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Scattered Scribblings</a>Savannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668452024211579085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40949714693498392702018-01-10T08:12:40.626-06:002018-01-10T08:12:40.626-06:00I'm so glad guys ARE a part of it, Stephanie! ...I'm so glad guys ARE a part of it, Stephanie! ❤️Taylor Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317086617310384385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-67425050460107543962018-01-09T13:56:00.505-06:002018-01-09T13:56:00.505-06:00My writing goal is to participate in a 100-for-100...My writing goal is to participate in a 100-for-100 challenge, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it. ~AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-20142058276092822252018-01-09T11:50:45.695-06:002018-01-09T11:50:45.695-06:00My goal is to manage my time better.

My writing goals for 2017 were sort of realistic in the sense that if I had done nothing but write in my free time, I probably could have made them.<br /><br />BUT that didn't happen.<br /><br />So my goal this year is to plan on writing/editing less books, but to make sure I'm using my time wisely. No more goofing around!<br /><br />Seriously, you all are such a blessing and an encouragement.

This way I have a tangible number to reach to keep me from slacking off, since I'm not quite sure how long the book will be. I'm hoping that this goal will not only help me finish, but train me to have the discipline to sit down and write EVERY day. Again, thank you so much for all you guys do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851865397542806708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-78223762284636079582018-01-08T12:51:16.409-06:002018-01-08T12:51:16.409-06:00YES!!!!
