The Good Life. |
Moving and Renovation Got the back more organized, and now you can walk through. It's a weight off my shoulders. Soon I'll be able to sit at the desk and work back there again. Processing payroll on Wednesday took ALL DAY because I had to do it out in the open where people could see me and talk to me. Reach 275 students at MTMS by 12/31/11. 236.5 Writing: Blog at MT.com by the end of the month: Yes. One character profile and background story per day: Yesterday, but not yet today. One fiction contest entry per day: Yes, I entered "The Writer's Cramp" [13+] with a story about the character I created yesterday. It worked really well, so that's my new daily goal: 1. Use a contest prompt to write a background story about yesterday's character and enter the contest with the story. 2. Create a new character for tomorrow's contest entry. Meanwhile, I got this nerdy idea to create a characters database, so I could later query the database when I need a stock character who fits a certain profile. Like, I could sort or filter on age, gender, etc. I prolly won't do it, though, because that sort of technical organization shit is the kind of stuff I do to procrastinate instead of actually writing. One original song per week: Mon: Compose lyrics. Tue: Polish lyrics. Wed: Set to music. Thu: Polish and record. Fri: Launch. No activity. Sat: Snippets/brainstorm. Today, I plan to organize more snippets and pick a topic for Monday's lyrics. Sun: Snippets/brainstorm. Count points: No. |
