Monday Update
Feeling good about this last week. I'm slowly building up my level of "getting shit done" again.
A set of four (short, short) poems were submitted to Bear Creek Haiku. I've been published in that journal before. Some really nice short poetry and haiku in that one.
In terms of actual writing, I've finally managed to turn back to the short story that I've been avoiding for a while. Up until this point, it's been in a jumble of different pieces, which I have now assembled into one document. Now I just need to work my way through a rewrite so that I have a draft that I would actually allow someone to read.
I also edited and polished three more poems, which are now not quite complete, but at the point where they are starting to resemble completion. The morning poetry journal progress was only sporadic this week, mainly due to my keeping up with yoga in the mornings, which sometimes conflicts.
Also got two really good walking days in. In fact, my Saturday walk was more intense than intended. My sister walked the loop we always walk, taking us up a rather long hill, and then down a short steep one, before looping around to our car. Except, there was no looping around, because the trail was closed off. Our only choice was to return up the really steep hill in order to get back -- which kind of sucked, but also turned out to be less difficult than I though. I guess I am improving, after all.
To Do in the Coming Week
- continue to make progress on the story (actually finishing = triple bonus points)
- write, edit and/or polish 2-3 of my current poems
- submit a set of poems or a short story for publication
- do 3-4 walking and/or running days
- post a youtube video
- art, doesn’t matter what, but something
