Hi folks, I’ve been rattling on about getting re-focused
lately and I am here to tell you, I believe I’ve got it. My mind is back on track
and things are starting to unfold as they should. I’m back to getting some writing done, sales are up, and I'm loving every bit of it.
(Writer hard at work; do not disturb unless it is a matter of chocolate or coffee)
OK, now for the ROW80 check-in.
Goals.
One: Write something
at least five times or more each week.
Been there, done that.
Two: Write a minimum
of 2500 on my WIP words each week.
Just squeaked by on this one.
Three: Publish at
least six new novels in 2012.
I’m nearly through the edits on the next romance novel. I
hope to get it out by the end of the month.
Four: Read and review
six or more first novels by new authors. (I don’t give bad reviews, so don’t
panic, I’m friendly, honest. J
I haven’t had a lot of reading time this past week. Falling
down a bit here.
Five: do more to be
supportive of new and struggling writers.
Beta reading for an aspiring author. This girl has what it
takes, can’t wait for her to get the book finished. (Cracks whip ever so
gently)
Six: Blog two or three
times each week over and above the ROW80 check-ins.
Made it, I think; didn’t I? Sure I did. Ok blog days should
be Mondays and Thursdays, at least that will be the target.
Ok, that’s about it for today folks. How is it going for
you? Did you hit your targets? Let me know how it went for you.

Just don't leave any whip marks on her! You are a delight, and I am glad to see that your week is going better. You are right, Chocolate and coffee are valid interruptions, now where is that waitress.....
ReplyDeletehehehe She's gone to get me more chocolate.
DeleteYou are one busy gal Prudence! But you're getting a lot of work done. And that's the point, isn't it. I like your desk area. Very nice. And it's also nice that you will help out other authors. Paying it forward is very cool! I'm waiting on Donna Newton and it's driving me nuts. I hope she's done soon. I'm hiding under my bed. lol! I'm glad you had a good week and I hope that the next is even better! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, I built the desk myself last Fall. This summer I'll take a week off and get it painted. I also know what it's like waiting for something to come back. I'm waiting on my editor and the longer she takes, the more nervous I get. eek!
DeleteCongrats on regaining your focus! Sounds like it's been a successful, productive week for you! I did something similar, by paring down my scheduled to-dos. It helped a lot - I got almost everything done that I wanted to, plus a couple extras. Glad to hear you're moving toward posting blogs on a schedule; that will make it easier to keep up. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, I just left your blog Jennette. I was amazed at how organized you are. I'm taking notes. :)
DeleteGlad to see you back on track, Pru! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHey girl, at my age I guess I'm supposed to be a bit bemused at times, but I always seem to find my focus again. I hope you and Lady are having fun these days. I'll call later the week when I go grocery shopping.
DeleteHey, Prudence,
ReplyDeleteSeems every where I turn these days I meet another ROW80 author. Keep rowing!
