Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone! Wishing you a nice productive/relaxing day.  

So what are your goals this week?

@HeartClock08 Thank you! For you, too!  

I hope to work a bit on my book(s), structure scenes and plan the stories more deeply, so that I arrange ideas & scenes into chapters. I guess I shuffle things around during revisions and such as well, but a rough skeleton helps me to keep the story from going astray. Especially as I tend to write small mosaic pieces of the story, rather than writing from beginning to end.

How about you? Any word-count-goals, plans or outlines to write? Or are you up to world-building and character design?

@marionline Thank you! 

Yeah, same. Some writers improvise (almost) completely as they go on the first draft, but I like to plan a minimum.

I want to write at least 5k words this week. I'm trying to do the NaNoWriMo challenge by finishing the first draft of my third book this month, so I can go back to the first and second book. Since it's a trilogy, I prefer writing all three at the same time to help keep the story coherent and cohesive.
