Sooooo, going to set some goals for myself. Maybe that will keep me on track. After doing Camp NaNoWriMo, I know I can write 2k words a day if I spend 4-5 hours on it (last minute research always seems to figure in). So, hear are my September goals - yes, I know there isn't much time left in the month. LOL!
- Commit to writing 1k words daily at least 5 days a week (total of 5k per week).
I should be able to easily do this, just by not opening up my big laptop where I get sucked into emails, blog reading, Facebook, Twitter, etc. - I will blog twice a week in this blog, continue M-F blog prompts in Write4Ten and once a week minimum in my personal blog, 2 Taking a 5th.
This also should be easy to do, toughest part is figuring out what to blog about! - I will read a three chapters a week in my new Scrivener for Dummies book.
This one will be a bit harder since I usually read tech manuals as I need to learn a function. but I'm determined to learn to use Scrivener's advanced capabilities. (Mac, Windows) - I will spend 30 minutes daily doing some type of exercise.
Again, very doable regardless of weather with my Leslie Sansone Walking DVD. - I will read a chapter of my current read every night.
I've been forgoing reading, hardest thing will be to limit myself to one chapter. - I will do my best to write at least one flash fiction piece a week.
I know my readers at Write 4 Ten have been waiting patiently for me to resume there...and after all, it's only ten minutes. Then there is the Visual Dare and Five Sentence Fiction challenges. Eeep!
I set goals (frighteningly similar to yours) at the beginning of every month and by the third week, I'm wondering what happened to them. Guess I haven't mastered the time/priority issue yet. Hope you have better luck with the rest of this month. And I love the picture.
ReplyDeleteCute!! Wow. So I clicked on your website link to check out your cover reveal and book excerpt from FB, creeped around (sweetly!), and ended up here. I ADORE the blog, much different from the one I recall visiting a while back.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by all you've accomplished Indie. I believe this is the avenue I'm headed, but I'm having an extremely difficult time letting go of the, "But, what if I just hold out" thing.
I'd love to chat with you about a few things, experiences, etc. If you're up for a bit of brain-picking, I'd love to hear from you. candice.fite@gmail.com
