It is a cold day today, the wind howling down out of the
northwest chilling the air to near freezing. Like a fool, since the sun is
shining, I took the dogs out for a walk. Two things became instantly apparent.
One, all the cold weather clothes are still in storage. Two, I still haven’t
replaced that fall windbreaker I lost last year.
However, all is not lost, good friends, for the wood burning
stove installation has been completed. Observe the supervisor awaiting the
first fire.
Now to the ROW80 progress report.
Goals:
Write 5000 words per week until first draft of WIP is complete.
5500 words written
this week. I am right on track here.
1. Accept more requests for interviews.
(Currently I only do about one in five. Bad me! I’m told I need to open up and
get over my shyness.)
Didn’t get a
request this time. (Still sad! Lonely! Feeling unloved!) tee hee
2. Read and comment on at least one blog per
day.
Actually managing three or four per
day so far. There are so many great blogs out there I could spend hours every
day reading them and never get bored.
So, let me know how you’re doing folks. Are you reaching
your goals or is life getting in the way as it so often does?
I can certainly relate to the cold. It is in the 40s here and raining - at least it is not snowing. I think that I am going to add commenting on other blogs to my list of goals as well. It is so important to support other writers and bloggers.
ReplyDeleteGood luck staying warm!
Hi Chris, Thanks for stopping by. Brrr, I don't like the cold rains; I'd rather have snow.
DeleteOh, that fire looks nice!
ReplyDeletePrudence, you're one of the most productive writers I know, and I'd love to interview you. I've been meaning to feature more authors on my blog. All things in good time. :)
Hi J.R., I'd be happy to be interviewed. Just let me know when you're ready and we'll do it. You can come to my place; I'll put on a fire and we can do it over coffee. :)
DeleteThat glider is in the perfect spot. Nice and warm for yarn work :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just waiting for somebody to enjoy it. :)
DeleteThe pics remind me of the Franklin stove I grew up with. It warmed our one story home quite nicely. Congrats on the word count. Way to go! All the best with your writing and other goals. TTFN
ReplyDeleteHi Stephen, thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I wish you joy of the day!
DeleteGreat job with the word count! That's great that you're able to maintain a steady pace. Keep warm and good luck with this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Michael, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThat pup sure looks comfy! :)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest problem with goals is underestimating the time they'll take to accomplish, or its corrollary, overestimating the time I have in which to accomplish them. Congrats on doing so well with yours!
Hi Jenn, yep, life sure can get in the way of plans. I'm still working on a few questions for you. Soon, I promise.
DeleteGlad to hear things are going so well for you. Life is feeling a bit crazy for me right now and I'm hoping things even back out soon. Peace to you.
ReplyDeleteHey Morgan, here's hoping things settle down soon. Take care.
