#ROW80 and NTS check-in 7/15

Hello everyone!

This week flew by and I barely saw it. Seriously. It was insane.

So, here are my goals for the past week and how it was:

  1. Write: see below.
  2. FastDraft: write all afternoon from 12:30 to 5pm (from Tue to Fri) and get LOTS of words down. I didn’t write Thursday. There I said it. Of course I felt terrible about it now. I could have written, I was home, I was alone all afternoon, but lots of friends kept calling me on Facebook and Skype and I hadn’t spoken with some for ages and it felt so good! See. I’ve gotta disconnected the internet when I’m supposed to be writing hehe Anyway, I got about 13000 words down this week. Accordingly to the FastDraft challenge, I should have gotten 25000 words down. Yeah, so only half =(  I confess I was a bit distracted and was really slow this week. But I did plot the ending in detail too, so next week should be faster ;)
  3. Read: read my CP’s manuscript and book #36 (goodreads challenge). Read book #36, but didn’t read CP’s manuscript =(  At least she sent it just to be read, not to critique it, so I don’t feel TOO bad for not having read it yet …
  4. Social Media: blog at least once (besides check-in) and hop on Twitter whenever I have a free time. Done.
  5. Exercise: 3x at least. I went to the gym 4x this week.

Goals for next week:

  1. Write: see below.
  2. FastDraft: write every weekday from 12:30 to 5pm and get LOTS of words down.
  3. Read: book #37 (goodreads challenge) and CP’s manuscript.
  4. Social media: blog at least once (besides check-in) and hop on Twitter from time to time.
  5. Exercise: 3x at least.

That’s it for now.

Don’t forget to check the other ROWers!

Have a great week!

Cheers,

FastDraft is here!

I joined the ranks of Fast Draft offered by the inspiring Candace Havens! Which is immediately followed by Revision Hell. This will be for the entire month of July.

So, if you don’t see me online, if I’m not on Twitter, if I’m not answering emails right away, if I’m not commenting on your blog, is because I’m deep in my writing cave.

If whatever you have to say to me is urgent, then send me an email (or use the contact form on this website) and write URGENT on the subject. It’ll get my attention ;)

I’ll be online again soon, I promise.

For now, be safe!

Cheers,

#ROW80 and NTS update 7/8

Hello! First #ROW80 check-in of the round!

My goals for the past week:

  1. Write: Not sure how much I’ll be able to accomplish with my cousin here and with a holiday, but I’ll try to write every weekday! Wrote about 2000 words on Mon and Tue, then done nothing Wed and Thu, and worked on outline and character’s GMC on Friday. Usually, I don’t write during weekends, but I wrote 3000 words on Sat, and worked a bit more on outline.
  2. FastDraft starts Saturday (7th) but I’m sure I’ll only be able to join the ranks on July 10th, after my cousin is gone. Waiting for the cousin to go ;)
  3. Read: Finish the book I’m reading and start another. I was on a roll and finished three!
  4. Social media: blog at least once (besides check-in), and hop on Twitter a couple of times each day. Done.
  5. Exercise: twice at least (Tuesday and Thursday). Done.

Not bad, but not good either, but I know I couldn’t have done much better with my cousin here.

And here are the goals I want to accomplish this week:

  1. Write: see below.
  2. FastDraft: write all afternoon from 12:30 to 5pm (from Tue to Fri) and get LOTS of words down.
  3. Read: read my CP’s manuscript and book #36 (goodreads challenge).
  4. Social Media: blog at least once (besides check-in) and hop on Twitter whenever I have a free time.
  5. Exercise: 3x at least.

 

Don’t forget to check the other ROWers! Have a great week everyone!
