Hey friends! Welcome to my weekly ROW80 update!
Here is my goals for the past week and how it went:
- Writing: Just keep writing. Mon: about 2000 words. Tue: 4359 words. Wed: 2482 words. Thu: critiqued a query 3x (exchanging email with writer on the spot), worked on my own query after being critiqued, and read notes from beta-readers on my first chapter. Fri: nothing. Lazy me. I spent the day talking to friends and catching up with my fave TV series. And, as y’all know, I don’t write on Sat or Sun.
- Reading: read book #70 of the year. This challenge began with 52 books (1 per week) and I increased as I went. It’s sitting on 70 right now, but I won’t change anymore. And, yes, I read book #70 and #71 too.
- Social media: I want to spend LESS time on twitter and blogging—so I can get more writing done! The same. Haven’t been gone for too long, or too little. I want to care less about being online, but it’s quite impossible.
- Exercising: at least 4x. Six times.
My goals for next week:
- Thanksgiving: Enjoy my time with my friends.
- Writing: write on Mon.
- Reading: read book #72 of the year.
- Social media: I digress from this one this week.
- Exercising: 2x.
I’m going to visit some friends for Thanksgiving and won’t do much this week. I’ll be leaving Wed morning, but will be completely involved in my trip around Tues afternoon and on. So, you can expect no writing and no gym and, besides some scheduled posts on my blog, almost no social media presence …
On my blogs this week:
- NA and the Power of Book Blogs
- Love Revolution Release Day
- The Next Big Thing
- RTW: For Inspiration
- Author Spotlight: Cally Jackson

Hope everyone have a great week! And a great Thanksgiving!
Cheers,
Even with only three days of writing, you still produced a lot.
Maybe we’ll see you once before Thanksgiving, and if not, have a great day with friends!
Those are some seriously awesome word counts, Juliana. Good for you! I know what you mean about wanting to reign in the online time. I sometimes think I’d accomplish so much more if my internet got knocked out or something. I should take a trip somewhere where there isn’t internet and bring only my laptop and some good books! :) Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with friends.
You had a good week and you deserve some time off with your friends! Enjoy and see you next week :)
Ah, the time suck of social media. I struggle with one constantly. Perhaps being with RL friends will help moderate the internet’s siren call. I’ve often thought of trying to minimize social media, with mixed results.
Great word counts!
I hope you have a lovely, restful holiday.
Another productive week! Have a good Thanksgiving!
You had a great week, Juliana, good for you, man that’s a lot of words. Hope your time with friends refuels you this week and you come back ready to finish the month strong.
Juliana, I am always impressed with how much you write! Great job on that, and the exercising as well. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Excellent word counts, even with the day off. Safe travels and have a fantastic Thanksgiving :)
well done:0 have a greta time with your friends – not sure I quite understand all your holidays over there but you all seem to have fun even it spend your time traveling great distances:) cyberspace is very hard to dismiss:(
Dang, you’re making me look bad with all that exercising! Great job though. I even snuck in some this week, so I’m happy. Hope you have a great time with your friends!
Wonderful word count! I hope you had some good time to spend with family this weekend. We’ll be back at it next week!
