JULY ALREADY?! Hot Enough For You? IWSG Post As Well

IWSG WEBSITE
Seems like we went straight from cold to hot with no real in between this year, at least for me. I am back Stateside now and getting ready for the big move north to OHIO! Wow, a year of change. I spent two wonderful months in France writing, walking, writing some more. It was paradise. Now, perhaps, I will have 20 months to write while my husband works on his Masters in Math Education at OSU. I am so very proud of him. This is a dream for him, and I want to do whatever it takes to support him in the fulfillment of that dream, as he has done for me. I've never lived in such a big city before so this will be a new experience.
I am nervous. I am working on my attitude to having a structured work time, as I used to have in the beginning of this adventure called writing. Once we are moved and I can concentrate, I am going to switch off the phone during certain hours and dedicate my energy and time to finishing my four works in progress. If anyone has any ideas or would like to share how they work, I am very interested to hear from you. Happy fourth of July!

Question for IWSG: What are your ultimate writing goals and how have they changed over time, if at all?

My writing goal has always been to be the best writer I can be, and to finish what I start. In the beginning, I didn't really understand what that meant. Now, all these years later I have a better idea of the power of dedication, the power of consistency, and the power of experience. Am I a better writer than when I started? I hope so! I think so. Now, I feel the need to prove to myself I can finish what I have started and make it work. I am blessed to have a wonderful editor, a wonderful family, and IWSG!
