I haven’t had any ADHD meds since Thursday and I am in full-blown inattentive mode, so let’s get to this while I can still (sorta) focus!
Last Week
- Write 3x this week

How'd I Do?
- Write 3x this week
- No, but I did write twice. Which is nice.
- Edit and post podcast episode
- Yes! The new episode is out now, have you listened in yet?
- Read a book
- Yes. Actually I read three books this week…
- Queries
- Yep! I had submitted to some agents with quick turnaround times, so I had some housekeeping to keep up on this week.
Weekly Word Count: 2,034
Looking at these bullet points, I’d say this was a productive week. I did a LOT of reading, finishing Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell, and then starting (and finishing) both The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Saga vol. 10. It was a busy week for books, y’all!
Which may explain why I couldn’t squeeze in that last writing session. I’ve been struggling with writing on Sunday nights like I’d hoped, and my inability to put my butt in the chair last Sunday came back to haunt me. But, the goal for the month is to write two times per week, and so far I’m on track for that.
The podcast is back on track! The first episode of season 3(?!) will be out next week, which doesn’t feel real, at all. Also, how the hell is January almost over already????
Speaking of, have you signed up for my newsletter? It goes out this weekend, so now’s the time to subscribe!
Honorable Mentions
I WENT ON A HIKE!!!!!!!!!!
I got outside, in the cold and vaguely wet. There were blue skies and beautiful clouds, and the roar of waterfalls. I got muddy and climbed over downed trees and breathes air so crisp it stung my lungs. All this combines into an ADHD super drug and I felt so incredibly present for two whole hours.
You can read all about it in full detail in last week’s Outings! post, but suffice it to say, I needed this very, very much. I am SO happy we got outside on one of the most gorgeous days in January!
What's Next?
- Write 3x this week
- Prep Newsletter
- Record Podcast
- Read a book
It’s a pretty straightforward week. A little busier than most, maybe, but I’m feeling good about it. I also have multiple social engagements this coming weekend, which is very exciting!
So, uh, yeah. That’s what’s up. This is all I’ve got today. I’ve been sitting at my desk for two hours and that appears to be the limit for now.
See you all on Wednesday with the new installments of Outings!
Until then, Blogland!
