May Writing Goals Report, June Writing Goals

[rsadelle]

Whoops. I kept forgetting yesterday was June first. Also, it was a Wednesday. Wednesdays are the day of the week I find it hardest to stick to my goals, and if I don't do my writing on Wednesday, then I think the week is already a loss and I'm more likely to skip Thursday and Saturday too. I'm trying to think about Gretchen's commandment to "identify the problem," but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what's hard about Wednesdays. I will take suggestions for ways to make it easier!

Report on May:

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


• 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 ten days.


• Write miscellaneous snippets as inspired. - Check!


• Say positive things on Twitter. - Always working on this.

Goals for June:

• 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. Ideally write more than this. I don't know that I'll finish this for big bang (if it's going to take another 30,000 words, I would have to write more like 600+ words per day), but that would be nice.


• If I'm not going to finish the Leighton/Victoria story for big bang, figure out what I am going to do.


• Write miscellaneous snippets as inspired.


• Say positive things on Twitter.

I'm always intrigued by your twitter goal. Do you have a history of being particularly snarky on Twitter? Are you repressing all sorts of negative things you want to say on Twitter? And of course, being perverse, I now want to know what all those negative gems are....

There was a period where I complained a lot on Twitter, and I didn't like it. I didn't like the way it made me feel, and I didn't like representing myself that way, so I decided to make it an actual goal to be more positive there.
