ROW80 – R1C9 – Finally!

I’m finally back on track. Well, sort of. I’m not all the way there yet, but compared to the last few weeks, this week was FANTASTIC.

Main Goals

1. Write or edit every day. 1/7 Only one day this week, but I wrote almost 2,000 words, finished up a chapter, and wrote a whole new short story. Yeah!
2. Read every day. 2/7 Twice as good as last week!
3. Exercise twice a week. 5/2 That’s right, I exercised FIVE TIMES this week. I was determined to at least hit this goal out of the park if I couldn’t do it with anything else.

Bonus Goals

1. Rewrite chapter 1 of L1. Actually thought about it this week, but didn’t do anything with it. Yet.
2. Keep writing W2. Yes, actually!
3. Update my contests doc. Nope.

List of Awesome

1. Latest Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast is out! (We talk about “Restraint” and “Raving” with a special guest who is also a listener of the show!)
2. Latest Onceable is out! (We talk about “Manhattan” and “The Queen is Dead.”)
3. I got my signed George Watsky CD, Cardboard Castles, in the mail this week! It’s pretty awesome. I actually did a review of it for Hypable, too!
4. I also got my Firefly/Doctor Who mash-up shirt this week. It’s like Christmas in March!
5. I have a friend that is diligently working on covers for my short story collection. And they’re all so beautiful I can’t decide which one I like best. I’m trying to finish up this set to get ready for self-publication soon. It might be a little while, as I want to add some more stories to it, but it WILL happen. Hurrah!
