Review and Goals


By anna caro - Posted on 11 July 2010

I think I'm just going to have to accept that for me this is a workshop of unfinished stories. I suppose unfinished are better than non-existent, and it means I'll be able to have some distance and work out which ones I most want to come back to after the workshop's over. Would be nice if I had twelve complete stories, but somehow that was never going to happen.

This week I got about a thousand words down about a Malaysian PhD student and time travel. She's a bit of a composite character, but I think it's getting there.

This coming week it's a character of a race other than myself, in a situation where she is part of the majority race where she lives. Once again, no ideas. Oh well.

We're also very close to having the editing for A Foreign Country done, so that's definitely on the cards for this week, and the draft template for the layout is getting there, so we'll also be starting to get proofs out. And I need to get on to that press release sharpish... I also really want to edit 'Ethie' to the point I can take it to Readstrange on Tuesday - my attendance has been much improved, but actually bringing anything... not so much.

I've got plenty of unfinished stories as well. But I'm glad that I started them, because you can always pick up again and finish off.

I love the sound of the Malaysian time traveller! I hope you can find the time to finish it :)

It's a series of unfinished stories for me too. I'm just thrilled to come out of it with so many ideas and beginnings. The End Is Nigh challenge comes nicely after the workshop where I'm hoping to finish some of these stories.

P.S. SO excited about A Foreign Country!
