Writing and goals...

So like every second person in the world, I write. I have dozens (upon dozens, upon dozens, etc.) of notebooks filled with snippets, plots, characters - you name it, it's probably there.

The Easy Bits
I write a heafty amount of fan fiction - though I always create new characters to interact with the old (which are usually sideline characters, not the main ones - i.e. Otto from Sherrilyn Kenyon's DH series; Charlie from J. K. Rowling's HP series also used to be a favourite). I'm not quite sure if this is the norm for fanfic writers, but that is what mine has evolved into.

Genre-bending, or Bending the Genre Lines (which ever you prefer)
My personal writing has plans to become books (please excuse me while I break into gales of hysterical laughter). I don't compose poetry (it's lovely to look at, but just not my thing), nor do I write children's lit or short stories (though I may be reconsidering on the ss thing...). My genre's include fantasy (urban and a version of high), romance, history, and mystery - all mushed together to create...um, I'm not quite sure yet. Which is why I now have "THE GOAL" (from she who hates creating goals, because she never finishes them...). So, here it is in all it's glory (drum roll please):

THE GOAL
      1. Complete a chapter by July 2009.

Not setting the bar too high, am I? (snicker)

But considering that I have never finished anything except for a school piece, it's not too much to ask for. Though if I do (by happenstance) fulfill "THE GOAL" by July, then there is always "THE GOAL, PART TWO"...
