Over at the AW Forums they're putting together a short story anthology.  Entries were due Sept. 1, and I really wanted to enter, but moving got in the way of that.  But, I did get an idea for a story that has to do with the WIP.  So I think I'm going to work on that so I can use it as a foundation for the novel.
Looking back at my last post, I realized that I need to set those goals and due dates about a month back.  Moving really messed up my writing life. :)
