Goals Summary 2022 – Wk #3
Blogland, I’m tired. I’m writing this post after spending the better part of four hours revising Tavi. My brain is mush. In the best possible way. As far as the week went, it was mostly decent. I got to host a program in the library, which was relatively well attended, and I got to do my Pop-Up Library on Friday. The Husbando and I have been enjoying going out to eat again, and i spent an entire evening with my best friend. It was a good week for me as a person. But, was it a good week for my writing? Let’s find out! Last Week Revise at least 10 chapters of Tavi Spend at least 4 hours with Victoria Finish reading Things in Jars and read The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik How’d I Do? Revise at least 10 chapters of Tavi Yes! I actually binged and got 20(?) done. Something like that. Spend at least…
Goals Summary 2022 – Wk #1
I can’t believe the first week of January is gone already. It feels like Christmas was forever ago, and yet this week felt so short? I really dislike how skewed my perception of time is in this pandemic age. It was a busy week back at work. We’re prepping for the inevitable switch back to distance learning, which means I have a lot on my plate right now. As the Librarian, it’s my job to basically plan and coordinate technology, textbook, and class materials distribution. And, when I get a moment to breathe, facilitate curbside pick-up of fun library books and record video book reviews for students. But, that’s the fun stuff that can’t happen until all the bigger, more tedious projects are complete. Speaking of projects, we’ve got some goals to discuss! Week #1 Goals Revise at least ten chapters of Tavi Finish The Woman in the Woods Spend four hours…
A Rant, Followed by Some Goals
Ok. All right. I know I said I was moving to my own website because I was sick of the Gutenberg Editor Block bullshit. I complained about WordPress.com, a lot. And I don’t take back ANY of those complaints. They’re valid. That being said, building my own site and coding it and trying to set up a newsletter has been so incredibly difficult. Gang, I am not “bad at computers” as my mother would say. I’m relatively technologically inclined. I’m a millennial who grew up coding her myspace page to include music and gifs before all of those things were simple. Setting up this newsletter sign up about gave me an aneurysm. It’s supposed to be easy, which it wasn’t, which is why it made me so incredibly frustrated. Don’t tell me it’s easy and then have the entire functionality of your plugin just NOT WORK. I’m looking at you…
A Mixed Success: The 2021 Story
All in all, 2021 was a slightly less raging trash-fire than 2020. I’m feeling a lot better at the end of this year than I did in December 2020, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. The intention for 2021 was COMMIT… which I then wrote on my whiteboard as “reCOMMIT” because my creative output was so inconsistent. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I don’t know if I really recommitted this year, but I feel committed as of this writing? So… a win? Mixed Success? All right. So what were these goals I was supposed to commit to? Revise Tavi I want to call this book DONE no later than October 1, 2021. That’s nine months to revise and rewrite and polish. I feel like that is plenty of time Read 52 books (1 writing craft book/quarter) Pretty straightforward. I want to read more this coming year…
