Dream... boldly going where no hosty has gone before...
It's here!
All right folks! Here it is. A brand new slate to start tracking your goals.
Let's make 2008 the best year so far!
Dream... boldly going where no hosty has gone before.
I made four goals??? I
I made four goals??? I don't remember, but I"ll take your word for it. I hope I can make this next one. I"m having some trouble with my heroine this time around. She's not cooperating at all.

well, that might be a slight fudge....
I had a hard time with the c&p and formatting, so I took notes and redid it all from my notes. So if I am wrong, please do let me know and I'll correct the numbers. After a while, you go dizzy trying to get everything to match. There was one night I think I might have gone cross-eyed.

slight fudge....
Well, four sounds nice, but I believe it's really two that I made.....hoping to make the one I've got listed!

I'm liking the new look now
I'm liking the new look now that I'm figuring it out, but one thing---on the old boards when I would read and then go back to the thread later when there were new messages, it went right to the bottom and the newest messages---is it going to be like that here? I'd hate to keep having to go through all the old messages.....of course there might not be enough on here yet, but had to ask.

There is a way!
And like everything else here, it's just a matter of getting used to doing it differently. When you see the thread, it'll say X new messages. Click on that rather than the discussion title, and it'll take you directly to the new messages.
I just learned that one today.
Learning curve for everyone,but we'll get there.

Nice Place!
It appears I'm the new kid here. I like the idea of accountability. My goal? Finish ms by Feb 14.
HollyBelle
Welcome!
HollyBelle, we're glad you joined us! What are you working on?
Dream... boldly going where no hosty has gone before.
My first inspirational novel.
I normally write children's fiction, short stories, picture books,skits, etc. I love reading romance so I decided to write one. It's going good so far, although my hero is trying to take over the book. 20,000 words written. I hope I get it finished soon.

Welcome
HollyBelle, welcome.
I'm still trying to figure out everything.

It gets easier, I promise!
When we first did the testing, I was so confused and did NOT like it. But now I love it... once you figure things out, there's a lot of fun things we can do.

I think there are some
I think there are some people still missing, I hope they find us!
I just made a blog entry --- a first! Kind of scary though, no one can 'find' me can they? No strange creepy people because I posted something? Right?

Hall of Fame
Hey Dream - I completed 2 goals:
- The editor's pitch ms by the end of Oct.
- My NaNovel Charley's Saint by end Nov.
When I didn't show up on the Hall of Fame list, I assumed it was because you were waiting for the new forum. That's why I held off sending in my new goals.
Anita mae.
Will get it up there for you!
I'm good that way. :)
With the changeover and having to do double duty, I'm sure I missed a lot of updates, so just holler and we'll get you taken care of.

Missing?
We seem to still be missing a few people. I hope they haven't gotten lost.

Wrong name
Hey Ila - I just realized I've been typing your name wrong.
With this new board, I can now see it's an i l and not an l l. I had to check on your profile but yup - it's Ila!
Is that your full name? I've never heard of it before.
Welcome and New Goal
Welcome, Hollybelle!
Dream, I need to alter my goal. I've put last year's ms on ice and have started a new story. I'm using a different, longer writing process so I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of how long it will take. But I'll go out on a limb and say complete my first draft by May 15.

Name
Nope, not my name, it's the name of Adama's wife on "Battlestar Galactica" and I just thought it sounded pretty and since I didn't really want my real name where 'strange' people might be lurking and see it....ok, I'm paranoid----too much "A-Team" and "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" as a child. Either that or too many years around lawyers and the right side of the criminal courts. Either way, I'm too paranoid to have my actual name up there.
But, those letters are in my first name and my middle name both!

Welcome HollyBelle and hello
Welcome HollyBelle and hello to Patricia and Merrilee!!

I lost my buttons
Patricia, remind me to do it in a couple days or so. My hosty buttons have disappeared, so I can't get into the header to adjust goals.
