Creative Writing discussion

I've found one of the most important parts of writing is setting goals (and following through on them). I thought it might be helpful to provide a place where writers could post goals and other could keep them accountable.
I'm looking to write 3,000 words this week in my latest book.

A personal goal of mine that I will always keep in mind when writing books is to write something different, something that no other author has written before. In other words I want to stand out :).

So far I'm off to a rough start 234 words.

I get my writers blocks, not when I am writing the story, but when I am trying to write into the story, i.e. the intro to the book,.... i have no problem with the meat, characters, or climax, just getting into the book, and getting myself intrigued. I always start a book, and then write begining last....
