August monthly challenge!

Other forums have a monthly challenge to kick themselves in the butt to submit or write, so why not us?


Post your challenge now and stick it in your signature for the world to see!

My challenge for August:
Finish first draft of my WIP "Alien Gurgitator"
Rewrite and submit "Recycled Dreams"

dahosek is on a distinguished road
On the short fiction front, yikes:
"MeTube" Finish draft 2, crit group review, draft 3, possible submit
"St Jude's Medallion": Draft 3, send to cc for review, draft 4, submit
"Elijah's Funeral": Drafts 1&2.

That's excluding an estimated 20k on the novel.
