This round of A Round of Words in 80 Days runs from October 1st to December 19th. Here are my goals for this round, all involving YA manuscripts. Abbreviations are used for the titles. My updates are in red.A) Revise and edit TWILAMPH, a manuscript I've been working on for several ROW80 rounds, and send it back to my agent. I separated my agent's revision notes into 8 bullet points and so far I crossed off 3 of them. Now that the ball's rolling on this goal, I plan on dedicating this weekend to revisions.
B) Edit EK, which I started late last year, and get it to beta readers. So far I edited 14 out of 26 chapters during the first round of edits. I'd like to do three rounds before presenting this to beta readers.
C) This is optional and only if I finish A and B first—pull out a manuscript I haven't worked on in a while, KMK, and rewrite it. I already wrote notes for this, but I need some more time to gather my thoughts. I haven't started on this yet.
I hope you're all doing well on your goals.

You've got a lot of great goals this week. Good luck with the rest of your revisions!
Happy revising this weekend. I hope I can do some major writing!
You are an editing machine!
I'm behind on every goal. But I never feel bad about it until I read your blog and see how you just keep wiping out goals. :)
Good luck with the weekend of revisions!
You are both impressive and inspirational. I wish I could get half as much accomplished as you've done. : )
Good to hear about the revision progress. You'll get to that rewrite in good time, I'm sure!
All the best with all the revision, Medeia!

Smart, putting the editing notes in bullet points. Good luck with editing on both books!

Happy Editing! :D
This reminds me. I need to rework my goals.
You are so amazing! You are doing a great job.
I finished my mg novel and sent it off to some readers and now need to work on edits. I'm hoping to be done in November.
Sounds like you're moving on those revisions! :)
I am impressed how much work TWILAMPH is getting especially. I will be wanting to read this for sure. :)
Yay for all you've accomplished and super good luck on all that you want to -- I'm sure you can do it! You're such a hard worker and so talented. :-D
Goals A and B are rolling right along. At the rate you're going, you should be at C soon enough. Good luck as you continue with edits and revisions :-)
Looks like you're rocking those A and B goals! I'm a fan of bullet point lists and then crossing stuff off said lists :P
Good luck with the rest of this week!
Hi Medeia - sounds like you've got yourself organised to finish your goals - have fun during the process - cheers Hilary
Sounds like you've got some great goals there - good luck!
I'm impressed. Once the chaos that hit my life this year settles a bit more I might join ROW80. Sounds like a great motivating tool.
Your dedication makes me want to get back to my revisions, Medeia.
Looks like you're making good progress:)
Sounds like you're doing well, Medeia. Keep it up. :)
Awesome goals and you got a lot done. Congrats!
Oh! Have fun with your revisions this weekend. I hope they go smoothly for you.
Great goals. I'm having a few issues at the moment with my WIP. I thought they would be sorted out by now, but there's one more thing that I need to figure out. So I'm a teensy bit jealous :)
Good accounting. Untill this year I've never had a lot of manuscripts waiting to be edited, but by the end of November I should have 3 completed one and a fouth that needs to be generally outlined for a triology.
Congrats on the progress. I love the way you forge ahead from week to week!
You rock! You never cease to amaze me, my friend. I just wish I had your stamina and your drive. Can I borrow some?? Hugs, pal. Happy, safe weekend!
Good luck with your revisions!
Ooh, I love bullet points! I like to do squares to tick on my tasks lists and then do sub-lists under each item with bullet points - list heaven :)
Sounds like you're on top of it all, keep going strong.
Thank you, everyone, for the encouragement. I'll be visiting your blogs soon. Have a great weekend and happy writing.
