My major goal as of now is finishing up my application for the Iowa Young Writers' Studio. If I get accepted, which I hope I am, I just know my writing will improve by a lot. Writing is an important part of life. It's like air for me. Without it, I would not be the same.

Another goal is to finish as much of my WIP as I can. So far it's been really good. I'm sending the first 10 double-spaced pages of it.

My writing has definitely improved from when I finished my first novel. I didn't pursue that though, because it just didn't fit my ideals of a good novel. I like the idea I used for it though, so I might rewrite the whole thing in the future.

Wish me luck on my goals.... I need it :]

I saw your essay in the SYW thread and gave you my two cents because I'm applying to Iowa too :D go figure, small world, eh? You probably have a lot better chance of getting in than I do, though XD. Rewritting a story isn't a bad thing. In fact, I'm in the middle of rewriting the first few chapters of my first novel now ^^

Good luck with Iowa and that novel!
