December Close Out 2013

12/7/2013

0 Comments

 
It’s that time of year again. No not Christmas time. It’s December close out time.

I’ve been having a relaxing week. After I finished nano I tried to write some more and keep up the pace, but between all the Thanksgiving stuff and then going back to work after having a week off, it was just too hard. But now, I’ve had a week to rest up and think about what I want to do, and I’m ready to start moving forward on my December close out plan.

This year I had a really hard time figuring out what to take care of during my December close out plan. Not only will I not get as much time of this year as years past, due to my change in employer, but I also don’t feel like I have a lot of works that are close to finish. After Nanowrimo I feel as though I have a bunch of works started but nothing close enough to completion to finish it this month. It took some real searching and thinking to figure out what I wanted to focus on this month. But I hope, now that I’ve figure out what I want to focus on, I should be able to complete my goals.

My first goal is to revise and resubmit Valentine Next Door. I received a few
comments on it from my editor, of what I need to improve and I want to make those changes and send it back.

My second goal is to finish Second Chance at a Cheerleader. I’ve been working on this story since February or March, way too long, though I did have several long breaks in between that time. Either way, I really want to get this story finished, so I can give it a little while to sit before revisions. Even though its currently 41k and my goal was 45k, I believe it will probably take more than 4k to finish it (I still have two whole sex scenes to write). It will probably be closer to 60k. And the closer I get to the end the harder it is to write. This will by far be my hardest goal.

My third goal is to write and submit a short story I’ve had in mind for some time, a sequel to Serving Madame. It will be another quick hot work, of Ada and her Madame, with maybe a little help from someone else. 

And if I have any time left, I’d like to try and finish up a new ménage I started during Nanowrimo, right now entitled Home for the Holidays, though I might change the title later. I don’t plan to sub it for several months, but it would be a nice change of pace to actually write a holiday story during that actual holiday time, instead of months ahead of time like I usually have
to.

I’d also love to finish the bathroom painting project I started during labor day (to be fair I finished the walls, I just have trim to do) and get started on some of my other house projects to get my place ready to go on the market next
year.

It definitively sounds like a lot. I better get started right away. 

Anybody else have any goals for this December? Anything you want to finish up before the New Year starts?
