Happily borrowing this idea from our neighbors at

starwarsflashmeme, this is your halfway-through-the-prompt-week social post, to bat around ideas, brush up on your fairy tales, or just chat about MCU things with your fellow flashmemers.

This week's prompt is a retelling of a fairy tale, and it runs through Friday--three more days! Are you writing something? Planning something? Have any questions or comments about the flashmeme so far?

I would love to know some of your writing goals and whatnot, if you don't mind sharing. I keep trying to set up goals for myself beyond a wordcount but have no idea how I'd like to structure them.

Also, one day I will use habatica again, I fell off trying to use it because I' so horrid about coming up with goals.

Eh, most of it is just wordcount--sometimes I'll put in "write to X plot milestone" or "finish this chapter" but usually it's "write X words per day" as a daily or "get to X word count" as a to-do. I mean, ultimately cranking out words is the goal, you know? Whether you quantify that as the actual word count or progress through an outline, that's the goal.

*nodnod* Yeah, true. I'm just horrible at setting goals in general, even though I get so happy when I accomplish them. It's a skill, goal setting, and somehow I didn't expect that.

*This* Really, this is one of the things that fails so often and hard.

If you've not seen people set goals, you don't have a model.

A good starting place is taking a task into its parts, chunks you've some idea of how long it takes to do and walk them back from when you want delivery. Start sooner and try to get a bit more done in your allotted time.
