April Writing Goals Report, May Writing Goals

[rsadelle]

I am again in that place where I'm feeling rebellious about my self-imposed goals. My brain: "Everyone else gets to just go home and have fun, and I'm going home to do more work?" The bonus downside to this is that I end up not writing a lot of other miscellaneous things because I feel guilty for working on things other than what I'm supposed to be working on. The reality check is that doing my writing only takes about half an hour and I do also do a lot of goofing off. That said, I'm trying to think if there's anything else I can cut out of my life/internet life that takes me away from writing. (I have already put Netflix back on hold and stopped reading Jezebel.)

Report on April:

• Write at least 400 words per day on weekdays, except Fridays, and 600 words per day on weekends of book two. - Yikes. I only actually did this seven days, plus a little bit more on another day.


• Write at least 200 words per day on weekdays, except Fridays, and 300 words per day on weekends of the Leighton/Victoria story. - Did this five days, plus a little more two other days.


• Post one fic, never finished fic, or snippet every week. (These are Sunday through Saturday weeks, and we're going to count this week as complete.) - I managed to do this all but one week.


• Write miscellaneous snippets as inspired. - Check!


• Say positive things on Twitter. - This continues to be a goal.

Goals for May:

• Write at least 400 words per day on weekdays, except Fridays, and 600 words per day on weekends of book two.


• Write at least 200 words per day on weekdays, except Fridays, and 300 words per day on weekends of the Leighton/Victoria story.


• Write miscellaneous snippets as inspired.


• Say positive things on Twitter.

I should maybe start up my goals again...

Marie, I don't know about this goals thing. Sometimes it's great, and it keeps me motivated and working. And sometimes I get grouchy about them and then feel horrible at having to confess how badly I've done with following them.

Aww. Well...can't be good all the time, but it's really inspiring for me, at least, to see the list of your efforts.
