Fall approacheth (Summer Writing Group, Week 13) ? Writing Account

Lots of people here are beginning prep for fall classes. And some of our members have started thinking about what their writing schedule will look like. Mathilda has begun working on a writing plan. humming42 is starting work on an additional project that can be a main focus in the fall. Contingent Cassandra is already attempting to move into a fall writing schedule to prepare and start habits now. What do you need to do to prepare for writing this fall? How can you maintain some good habits you?ve established this summer? What habits do you need to modify as you enter a new season of writing?

Speaking of thinking ahead to fall, I would love to see this group keep going! (I sure need the accountability.) For the summer group, we?ll have two more check in days after today (Week 14 will be normal, Week 15 will be to report your final progress and overall progress).?In this spirit of this collaborative group, I?d be happy to pass off the hosting responsibilities to someone else.?If you would like to host this group in the fall, make note in your comment.

Please?check in by noon Monday:?1) Goals, 2) Accomplished, 3) Analysis, 4) Goals for next week, 5)?optional?Next check in date, if you?ll miss next week.
