Suffice it to say...
...last week SUCKED!
Yea, yea, doing the goal post anyway, but it did. Just over 3k in words (real let down when I was doing between 10 and 15k for weeks before that) and a lot of stress eating because it really was a crazy week. The good news is that I'm behind on my year goal for words, but I still lost weight. *g*
And, yes, very surprised and proud of that, although I swear it's not me, it's the Core Rhythms.
Anyway, already getting sidetracked with things I need to do, so better get the rest of these goals posted! (Started this a half hour ago! Really! Printing, a load of dishes, need to make a phone call...yea, busy! But, really, when am I not?)
2009 Goal Progress
» Finish/Sub A.C. :: starting chapter 36 of 37

Actually, I think there was more personal stuff on the to do list than the list indicated. For example, we saw a house on Saturday...and ran to the store yet again. Seriously, last week just would not slow down. This week looks busy too, but not nearly as bad.
To adjust for the editing I MUST get done, I'm trying to cut the word counts in half.
Goals This Week
Writing/Personal
» A.C. 36.4
» 600/day; 3600/week
» 200/day; 1200/week in world building
» B.C. plot building
» journals: whysper, booklog
» daily reading: Firebird
» daily reading: The Riddle-Master of Hed
» feel good thing x7
» exercise: 5 days Core Rhythms + 5/stretch
» lose 2 pounds
Extras This Week
» call in refill of boyo's meds
» make OBGYN appt.
» see house on Tuesday
» bank on Wednesday
» pick up boyo's meds on Wednesday
» grocery store
» Dr. appt. on Wednesday
» call AT&T yet again
I'm sure more will come up as the week goes along, but it already looks better than last week. And, of course, I'll be working on that editing job. I finally have my tech guidelines in hand, so will look from the beginning again to make sure I caught everything and to take care of the stuff I had trouble with when I didn't have the guide to check. Really, been out of the editing a bit on the long side, I guess. It really does take a different mindset than writing.
Anyway, over an hour on this post alone, just trying to get stuff done while posting. For today:
» editing
» 600 novel words
» 200 in world building
» A.C. 36.4
» journals: booklog
» daily reading: Firebird
» exercise: 5 days Core Rhythms + 5/stretch
» call in refill of boyo's meds
» make OBGYN appt.
» call AT&T yet again
» catch up on dishes
» green bags
» pick up tsykika from work
» the first of at least 3 grocery store runs
I'm already stressin' a bit, but it should all settle once I pick up tsykika from work. Sort of. Need to get to work on some other things now, including that phone call. The man is not happy with his phone right now. Mine's the same kind and doing fine. Mostly anyway.
Okay, AT&T call then pick up oldest, and finally I can start editing. Then dinner. Then more editing. Might get to write tonight...we'll see.
Mondays are always so crazy.
