      Gather, fellow knights and warriors of this realm!

      @Overcomer
      and I had an idea a little bit ago for the fall. Because summer is now over, (yay–Fall!) that means that The Awesome Summer Writing Club is no longer summery. So, without further ado, I will begin a new topic with the same principal.
      We, as writer’s, will (or should, I won’t force you to) post our writing endeavors here for the winter and fall, our goals and what we hope to accomplish. For example, I hope to finish my WIP rough draft by Christmas, and anyone else who wants to have a similar goal can join in with me. We hold each other accountable to that goal and encourage each other in it.
      Now, *raises battle-sword* who’s with me?!

        *brandishes long sword* Let’s do this! I’ll probably just be aiming for writing a poem a month or something because life is crazy! But it sounds awesome!

          Hurray @dragon-snapper!

          I’m planing to finish editing my novel, Fidelyon in a few weeks. I’m also hoping to finish my third Legends of Light novella and get that polished up enough for beta-readers by the end of October (or November). And I’m attempting NaNo this year! *brandishes pen, ahem, keyboard* I’ve a novella and short story I’m writing for that.

            I want to finish my current WIP by January, and I’m also doing NaNoWriMo! If I am still sane after that, I’ll hopefully finish editing around February. I’m rather ambitious for someone with a busy schedule. 😛 *raises sword. Onward!*

              @dragon-snapper
              I don’t have any specific goals (besides trying to write as much as I can), but I’d like to at least try to write a poem and short story a month. I don’t know how well that will work out, though, especially since I’m even more busy than usual in the next couple of months. 😉
              *holds up sword* But I will fight for the right to write! 😛

                I would like to finish my WIP by Christmas. I don’t have that much time on my hands, but I will find time or die trying! *adjusts breastplate and lowers helmet visor* Let’s do this!!! 🙂

                  My goals are by the end of the year to totally finish up with editing Edwin Brook as well as totally finishing up my novelette (btw @kate-flournoy, are you still up for that?), and then I want to get the first draft of my next novel written.

                    let’s see, I’m hoping to write one chapter every three days so that by February my novella will be finished.

                      @alia The pen is mightier than the sword! 😛 (unless it’s Riptide… Then it’s both)

                        Never done the Awesome Summer Writing Club before, but I’m in for this one! I want to finish the first draft of my latest big idea, a novella/novelette (not sure of the length), by the New Year. I also want to sort out all the pre-writing stage ideas for my next fantasy or sci-fi novel and start writing the thing, that is if studying doesn’t kill my creative power. 😉

                          Well, @ingridrd, you and I can aim for Christmas together. 😀 I’m on the twentieth chapter, so hopefully I won’t have too much more to go…but Fall is going to be busy…*reaches into closet to pull out another weapon. Pulls out a guitar. Sheepishly puts guitar back and takes out battle-sword*
                          Heh, oops. Guitars are not weapons, are they?

                            @dragon-snapper *salutes* Ready for duty, captain! *dramatic swirl in long black cape* *draws dagger* *brandishes sword* Let’s do this!

                            Let’s see… I have a term paper to write before Christmas for the college course I’m taking on Eschatology. I have to have a topic picked by October 11; there’s still a few I’m praying about, so I can’t give you that specific yet. 😉

                            I would like to have enough outlining and character sketching done on my current WIP (it’s kind of title-less right now 🙁 ) to be able to start some serious writing in January.

                            And this isn’t exactly a writing goal, but… *glances around for @Daeus* *lowers voice* I recently started the Count of Monte Cristo, so I hope to have that read before the end of Winter. *shakes finger at @Daeus* No spoilers, please!

                            Oh yes, and the actors in the play I’m currently directing are begging for another one after this one’s done. They want a sword fight. *sighs* *grins because sword fights are awesome and I already have an idea swirling around in my head*

                                @Daeus When I saw the number of chapters I gasped out loud… seriously, did they not have this little thing called a sequel back then? Did it all have to be in one book?! But I’ve enjoyed it so far.. although I’m only into the fourth chapter or so, and I’m beginning to worry about Dantes…

                                  @dragon-snapper *hurries in tripping over her cape in her haste* Yes, I want to be part of this. What am I planning to do? I don’t know. *goes away to think* 🙂
