Last Week's Assignment

Error alert: I gave you the wrong website for Celtx last week. It should be celtx.com

I used the assignment to work through a rough spot on my latest novel. Celtx rocks and the files move seamlessly between my PC and my Mac.

I think my stuckness was due to some recent reviews of my stories, and some reader emails. Is there any way to handle criticism gracefully? Or at least not let it ruin your day? (And then there are the backhanded compliments. Don't get me started!)

Goals Revisited

It's halfway through the year. Time to take stock of any goals you set back in January and see if they're still valid. I hit many of my goals this year, but they weren't lightweight goals, and it wasn't easy.

Reassess if your objectives are the same. There's no sense in plodding toward a goal simply because it made sense six months ago. Double-check and make sure the direction is still valid. My objective has changed! I'll have to figure out what the new objective is; I'll get back to you on that after two weeks of soul-searching.
