But wait. I don't understand the write 1 sub 1 monthly thing. Are you saying that you do that EVERY MONTH?! Whoa. WHOA. That is even more amazing!<br /><br />Julianne-- I love goals like that! :) But I'm with you. I need to streamline mine and make them less overwhelming.<br /><br />Trisha-- Congrats! And best of luck on the short story writing!<br /><br />Commutinggirl-- Happy dance!! Congrats! I'm so happy for you! Don't you just love your netbook? I love mine like nobody's business. It makes writing in sitting-at-home-at-my-desk places possible, and that makes all the difference in the world. And I have loved blogging so much more than I ever anticipated, too! <br /><br />Susanna-- Congrats on the 34 picture book ideas! I really love that concept. And what the what?! You were also going to write another MS and revise SEVEN?!?! Wow! That's amazing!

That's an unbelievable amo...DRC-- Holy frijole! That's an unbelievable amount to get done in one month! Yeah, I think you can safely say it was a successful month.<br /><br />Joshua-- CONGRATULATIONS!!! And finishing early, too! Best of luck finishing- whether you finish in December or beyond.<br /><br />Talli-- When you've been working that hard, it is just as tough to relax! I hope you do it, though, and LOVE IT.<br /><br />Cherie-- Wait. You wrote 1 1/2 novels... all in November?!?! Seriously? WOW! Yep, I totally agree that it's good to make goals. Hm. Did I grow and learn from not meeting mine? A little, I guess. My to-do list about doubled in size, and although I have become more efficient, I haven't found a way to be efficient <i>enough.</i> So I guess I have some more learning and growing to go. :)<br /><br />JeffO-- Sometimes the goal you set at the beginning ends up not being the most important goal. So accomplishing the most important thing? I say that's a good month, indeed.<br /><br />WilyBCool-- Ha! Why didn't I think of that goal? It's brilliant! And also, my new goal for December.<br /><br />David-- :( I got sick, too, which really manages to put you into slow-mode. Luckily I wasn't sick for weeks, though. Dang! That must've been rough.<br /><br />Cassie-- Nice! Congrats!! And you've got the guts to take the plunge. Come on! Click send. You can do it! <br /><br />Kelley-- I can't even believe #4 is your goal, when you've only been writing as long as you have. You're amazing!<br /><br />Madeline-- Ahh. Learning to be more flexible. Definitely an important thing when it comes to goal setting!<br /><br />Angela-- Awww! I'm in love with your positive attitude.<br /><br />E.R.-- Um, I think "November was a good month" might be considered a bit of an understatement for you. You're amazing, girl! And no, I can't believe it's almost 2012.<br /><br />Sara-- Wait, what? You write a book a month? Holy frijole, girl! That's incredible! Come on. Convince yourself it's all okay. I think you've earned a little slack.<br /><br />Stacy-- That sounds like heaven.<br /><br />J.A.-- Congrats and best of luck on finishing! December is just about the best month to not plan on getting much done.<br /><br />Cynthia-- That's exactly my problem- I added more goals and made a mess of things. Best of luck finishing by year's end!<br /><br />Patti-- Haha! That's what I think whenever I attempt writing really fast! Set more reasonable goals. I think that's the key right there. I mean you've got to push yourself and all, but making outlandish goals just doesn't ever seem to be very helpful.<br /><br />Shelly-- Congrats! I think that 50,000 earned you a bit of laziness. ;)<br /><br />Jenny-- That's right! It's not just for November! And my month was pretty good in the goal accomplishing department. It just feels like I'm ending the month with far more unfinished goals than I started the month with. <br /><br />Mel-- Awww. I love that.<br /><br />Chantele-- YAY! Congrats on meeting your goal! YOU rock. :D<br /><br />Iain-- That makes me so happy! Congrats on getting HUGE AMOUNTS done! Your goal accomplishing on such a daily basis was inspiring!<br /><br />Maggie-- Querying takes SO MUCH TIME. That's a huge accomplishment! And best of luck on everything. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.<br /><br />Leigh-- I did writing and school for a while. The end of the semester is the worst! Writing keeps calling (or yelling) your name, and you can't answer... Sigh. I'm excited for you that you're almost finished!<br /><br />Prerna-- Congrats on the productive month! I'm so excited for you that you met your goals! (Or that you will have by night's end.)<br /><br />Golden Eagle-- CONGRATS! Such an accomplishment! And best of luck finishing the novel, too.<br /><br />S.P.-- You can totally do it! And then celebrate huge! Even if it is midnight. :)<br /><br />Megan-- This might possibly be the funniest comment I've ever gotten! I laughed out loud, then read it to my family who also laughed out loud. Yes. December will definitely be better. I mean, you've got nowhere to go but up, right? :DPeggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-63104796311070306472011-11-30T19:29:49.251-07:002011-11-30T19:29:49.251-07:00I met my goals 200% this November, doing waaaaaay ...I met my goals 200% this November, doing waaaaaay more than I thought I could.
