First, a new goal. I think your old goal is accurate, with just a small change in the object. Try to turn out 80,000 words, with 40,000 of new material. Not on the novel, per se, but in general. 40,000 new in short stories. Haiku. television scripts. Whatever. Second, I think you're asking what to write. Dare to write s/thing you wouldn't otherwise write. That is the beauty of short fiction: you aren't investing that huge chunk of soul & brai processor space. Hell, try a space opera. A western. Or whatever. Also, a question: how often to you go back & review your "research material" tag? A periodic review of that might be useful -- say monthly? That's all I got. ok, so there a re really 2 questions here.

But they shouldn't be what life is about. When we come up against that wall, we should try and get over it. Sometimes we go around it in a different manner. As long as you are moving in a positive direction, you are moving towards your goal. So, think about making progress in a manner that suits you now. Goals that we set are part of life.
