Writing in Snow

Thoughts on the First Half of December 2013

Where to go from here? On October 28, 2013, I began keeping track of my weekly goals in this journal. The first entry, "Invalid Entry" , was a very curd and unplanned attempt to keep track of my writing and reviewing accomplishments on a daily basis. I revised that somewhat the next week in "Invalid Entry" , but I still did not like the way I set up that weekly accomplish entry. However, I kept that format, except for a few minor changes, in "November Accounting: November 11-15, 2013"  because it was the middle of November and NaNoWriMo. I continued the same format, again with some minor changes, in "Invalid Entry"  and "Invalid Entry" . When December came I continued to make changes in the format in "Invalid Entry"  and "Invalid Entry" , which I like better then the earlier formats. I plan to make some more minor changes to the daily accounting format for next week and then continue to use that until March or April of 2014.

That is everything I can think of today. I know I need to decide on other goals for 2014, but before I can begin those I need to set up the templates for my 2014 goals and balance sheet (I have referred to this as my budget spreadsheet). That is all I can think of this evening, I know I had other things in mind to do in 2014; however, they have slipped my mine. I will write them down and put them in another entry.
