Hi folks, it is time for the ROW80 check-in again. This past
week has been slow for the writing. Why? Well, let me show you. The weather has
been spectacular so there has been much dog walking and Prudence dawdling around
the island. It is hard to focus on the computer when it looks like this
outside. Take a look!
Okay, time to report in. I did manage to get a few words
written, so it isn’t all bad.
Goals:
1. Write 5000 words per week until first draft
of WIP is complete.
I did manage to
catch up here, barely. MS now stands at 10K words.
2. 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.)
I accepted a
request for an interview from the University paper. (Go me!)
3. Read and comment on at least one blog per
day.
This I did do.
Actually, poking
around in the sunshine helped me relax and reset my mind. I now feel like I’m
back on track again. I am fortunate to live in a place where this is right
outside my door. So tell me, how do you folks get your mind and focus to
re-boot?
Don’t forget, I’m always up for an interview.

Glad to see your progress! I muscle test through the numbers of the link ups and luckily fell on your number! Peace to you friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Morgan, glad you picked me. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
DeleteWhat a landscape to relax into - how indeed to come indoors and write? I usually re-boot in the garden while my hands are engaed with the earth/plants - or sometimes streched on bed and letting mind drift. All the best for this week - I received your answers fine - am busy getting them ready:)
ReplyDeleteI didn't get any gardening done this year, but it is at the top of the list for next year. Glad everything is okay, sorry it was so late.
DeleteWhat beautiful pictures...you are lucky to have such great views! :-) Looks like you had some fantastic progress this week too...keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Jess, yep, I am bless to live in this wonderful place. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
DeleteCongrats on making your goals this week! Sounds like you needed a little relaxation - and what beautiful scenery to get it in. Good luck this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennette. Yeah, I did need to stop for a deep breath or two. Funny how you get more productive when you do that, isn't it?
DeleteJust think of it this way--we only have a few more weeks of really nice weather and then winter will set in. Once that happens, you won't want to go outside and you'll get plenty done :)
ReplyDeleteI know, Marcy and I do hope to get lots of writing done this winter. However, if I light a fire in the stove I might be tempted to sit close and knit from time to time. Yes, I am my own worst enemy. Tee hee
