Goals Summary 2023 – Wk #22
I spent some high quality time at the Oregon Coast today. I’m sore, my skin is flush with fresh sun, and I am more than a little sleepy. So let’s just get to it, shall we? Last Week Write at least 2x Edit & schedule Podcast Send Newsletter Read something How’d I Do? Write at least 2x Nope. Edit & schedule Podcast Yes! The newest episode of Top Shelf Librarians is out now! Send Newsletter Yep! It hit your inbox last night. If you haven’t signed up yet, do it now! Read something Yep! I finished listening to an audiobook this week. Weekly Word Count: 703 Well, that’s not nothing. But those words didn’t go toward the novel… Ughhhhhhhhhhh. Okay, but seriously. It was a horrifically busy week and I knew that my odds of getting anything meaningful done were slim. That three out of four goals were completed should…
Goals Summary 2023 – Wk #21
The long weekend (plus a migraine) has thrown my routines for a loop. Several things are behind schedule, this post being one of them. So let’s get down to it! Last Week Write 3x Record Podcast Prep Newsletter Read Something How’d I Do? Write 3x Lol, no. But I did brainstorm the next scene, so that’s something? Record Podcast Yes! Prep Newsletter No… more on that in a minute. Read Something Yes! Weekly Word Count: 0 Okay… So, I was maybe a bit busier than I really acknowledged when I set these goals. I was pretty overwhelmed last week. Overwhelmed enough that I asked to take a break from my critique group until school is out, because I just have too much going on. Overwhelmed enough that I got a migraine this weekend that basically obliterated my to-do list. Hence, no newsletter went out on Sunday, as planned. Good news?…

It’s Monday. We’re here today, together, to talk about goals. And accomplishments. And fun things. And things that make me want to vomit from anxiety. You know. The usual. Last Week Write at least twice Read something Edit and Post The Saga Saga: Volume One How’d I Do? Write at least twice No, but… I wrote once for two whole hours and wrote more than I did all last month. Read something Yep! Edit and Post The Saga Saga: Volume One Yes! You can listen to it now! Weekly Word Count: 2,256 Last week was a very busy one, with commitments sneaking up on me and taking all sorts of time. And yet, I feel like I accomplished a lot last week. I finally had a breakthrough on the novel, and I’m feeling like I can move forward with it once again. The end is very close now… I also read a…
Goals Summary 2023 – Wks #13/14
Well. We’re still Airbnb-ing it, which makes the deep dive, detailed sort of planning and goals assessment… Difficult. I’m doing my best y’all. Last (?) Week Write 10k Send Newsletter Record Podcast Survive this crazy week How’d I Do? Write 10k Lol. No. Send Newsletter Yes! It even went out on time! Record Podcast No? But also yes. You see, we had to push it back a week due to a migraine, but it’s recorded and will be released soon! Survive this crazy week Yes. That is technically true. Weekly(ish) Word Count: 1,540 Without my whiteboard, the word count thing is a bit trickier to track. I’ve done a bit of math – which is never recommended – and this is what I came up with. Its accuracy is suspect, but I’m running with it. I did a bit of reading over the last couple weeks, though not much. I…
