wimpy writing goals

monday seems a good day to rethink and set new writing goals, sort of the new years day of the week (new years day is never as fun as new years eve, but it is the actual beginning). as i floated on an air mattress yesterday and swam a bit, i tried to consider where to go now. not writing is getting to me. it's like an ache in the stomach that grows, i feel it as i type this. thus some monday goals.

i leave for atlanta thursday (christian booksellers convention) and as with most of my trips, i don't feel ready (though i do need this i think). it takes until that plane tips off the ground to say, "okay, i'm going, i can't do anything more at home, can't feel bad for leaving, now i'll focus on what this will be." since i'm rather directionless at the moment, hoping it provides a little. meeting with my agent and writing friends should help. some help too from time to think and pray and sleep (yeah right, i'm in atlanta with friends). in many ways, life would be easier without writing. but could i live through it?

monday writing plann-eo: 1000 new words (at least) on writing experiment and put together some of the pieces -- see if they make anything. wimpy goal, yes, but trying to be realistic with what this week means.
also, create game plan for atlanta.

"you don't remember me, but i remember you." just heard that on the evanescence cd playing through my computer, liked it. maybe i'll put something of it in my writing experiment.
