I had most of the month of December to figure out my
goals for this Round and here I sit, with nothing to show for it. I am writing
this Sunday night because I am leaving first thing Monday morning for a quick
road trip to Michigan, in sub-zero temperatures with ridiculous wind-chills.
This trip is my daughter’s idea, well, not totally. I did feed into it, but
every Mom needs to take a road trip with their daughter and it has been a long
time.
But goals, man, I need to think about goals for the next
80 days.
To start off with I signed up for the Ultimate Blog
Challenge, which means I am posting to my other blog every day for the month of
January. Since I am leaving town in the morning, I do have two of those in the
bag already.
I have started my third devotional in the stories in 40
Days series and am up to day 7. I hope to finish all 40 days this Round. I also
want to finish editing my novel by the end of the year, so need to be through
ten chapters this Round.
I continue to see the need to submit, submit, submit, so
am sticking with three submissions each Round. Lastly, I have the itch to start something new, probably
another novel. I have four different ideas in my head, so hopefully I can shake
one out yet in the next couple weeks and get something concrete going.
Other than that, I wanted to focus on weekly goals, but
since I am leaving town for a few days and have lots of housework to do when I
get home, I may forego that for now.
See ya when I get home.
My road trip destination, taken last May. It probably won't look like this now, huh?
Chris, enjoy that precious time with your daughter -- snow or no snow. Your creativity is on full boil . . . for UBC and your own writing. You are making steady progress. I also signed up for UBC and haven't posted yet . . . oh, dear. Maybe your example will inspire me. Have a wonderful round . . . again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth. Best of luck with UBC. I am sure you will get on track.
Deletegluttons for punishment you two:) UBC! anyways enjoy the road trip and all the best with UBC and the rest of 2015 goals:)
ReplyDeleteThe road trip was quite the experience. Snow, dangerous windchills, Chicago traffic. Time to relax in front of the laptop!
DeleteI like your goals. The only "Resolution" I set for this year is more of a one-word theme: COMPLETION. I’m attempting 500 words per day, with hopes of completing my WIP by June 30, 2015. Good luck! We can do this!
ReplyDeleteI love your word of the year. "Completion" That is great and should help you focus on your goals. Best wishes for a complete 2015!
