Quick recap of my goals:
1) Do 30 minutes of something writing related each day.
2) Test mile - 250 words a day
3) Read two books a week for 100+ reading challenge.
4) Review one book a month (DONE FOR THIS MONTH!)
5) Exercise twice a week.
Things have felt calmer this week (famous last words!) and I feel writing is becoming part of my daily schedule. I managed to join in with half the sprint on the ROW80 hashtag and I forgot how much I love writing alongside others even though I only took part for the first 30 minutes. I will try to make 7pm (my time) my writing time so I can write with my fellow ROW80ers more often.
Here is how the week has looked:
Monday:
30 minutes writing WIP (during sprint) 1036 words
Tuesday:
30 minutes writing WIP 846 words
Wednesday:
One hour dance class.
I haven't managed to do any writing today as it has been one of those days and the dance class eats into my evening time so I will make up the half an hour over the next few days. I found the dance class much harder tonight, I don't know why. I tend to withdraw from situations which make me feel unfit and uncomfortable but I am determined to see it through as it is only by going that I can get better!
I posted my first review on Sunday just before my ROW80 check-in and thank you for all your kind comments. I wanted to be very careful not to spoil the book for anyone and am glad people seemed to like it! I have read 6 books this year so far so I have made a good start with the read 100+ books in a year.
Plan for rest of the week is to keep writing more of my WIP and make up the 30 minutes of writing I didn't do today. It is nice to sit down and write for 30 minutes on my WIP instead of plotting and doing bits and pieces. I am happy with the direction things are going in but the cloud of editing is hanging over me. Think it will need alot of work but for now I am happy to keep plodding forward!
Hope everyone is having great weeks!
Looks like you're doing pretty well. Dance/Life can get in the way but that point is you're trying to meet your goals regardless. Good job!
ReplyDelete6 books already? Wow! You're really going for that challenge. Nice ;)
ReplyDeleteThe rest is going well too, I see. Good job, Em. Keep it up!
Fantastic miss superstar - and 6 books read so far this year - I'm jealous! Congrats on your progress with writing. And I love to dance - how fun that you are taking a class! Keep up the uber awesomeness that is you!
