Assessment & Goals

My May goals were:

· 45,000 words;
· Read three new books;
· Establish a “sacred spot.”

I achieved one of those goals, by barely hitting the 45,000 word mark for May. I found myself having a hard time getting into books and staying interested. I did read two, though. One of them hasn’t been officially released, but it will be amazing when it is. Sacred spot? Meh. I’ve been trying to get out to Panera every Thursday, but last night I didn’t really hit my stride until 30 minutes after they closed! I felt bad (plus I really had to pee), so I packed up and left. I did manage to get up to nearly 47,000 words though. Only 3,000 more to go!

My June goals are:

· Complete CRUSH at 50,000 words by June 30th!
· Read one new book.

That’s all for now.

Whee!

Agent likes my plot for CRUSH! Now I just need to hurry and finish it and get it ready to send him. I have a feeling that one will sell much more quickly than ONLY YOURS.

Sending Good Vibrations

I just read a Daily Om which talked about vibrations, and creating my own reality.

Our thoughts and feelings can determine the frequency at which we vibrate, and our vibration goes out into the world and attracts to us energy moving at a similar frequency. This is one of the ways that we create our own reality, which is why we can cause a positive shift in our lives by raising our vibration.

One of the most practical ways to raise your vibration is to consciously choose where you focus your attention.

So here is the reality I’m going to create:

The next person who Ethan pitches my book to will be immediately engaged and request the full. That person will read the full within a matter of hours and make an offer.

I shall write this over and over until I believe it, until it’s radiating from me, until it IS reality.

The next person who Ethan pitches ONLY YOURS to will be immediately engaged and request the full. That person will read the full within a matter of hours and make an offer.

And so on and so on…..

Getting those vibrations going…….
