A journal of writings and progress through the 2020 year challenge. |
My Three Goals for the year are: #1 Complete a contest a week for the I Write in 2020 Challenge. Week #10 - March 2 to 8 - March 11 - "The Lighthouse Poetry Contest" - "All Is Well With My Soul " - 2nd place Week #11 - March 9 to 15 - "What a Character! : Official WDC Contest" - "Greyson Dante " Week #12 - March 16 to 22 - "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" - "Poems In Time Of Social Crisis" Week #13 - March 23 to 29 - {item: } - {entry: } #2 Write 750 words a day (for a weekly total of 5250 words a week). Week #1 word total = 5957 Week #2 word total = 5601 Week #3 word total = 8263 Week #4 word total = 6010 Week #5 word total = #3 Continue to work on my NaNoWriMo novel - Arlynn's Way. February's mini goal is to add 1000 words this month. Week #1 - this has been a weak week. I was sick with a cold so any creative ideas went into my blogs and not my novel. Week #2 - this week's focus is editing my short story for the GWN anthology. Week #3 - again editing my SS is my focus. Week #4 - I did an entry for a contest that may turn into more; and I added to my novel; I also increased my words for the month from 1000 to 11,000. I am at 92%. Week #5 Extra Goals: I also had a friend help me set up my own writing website: www.carolynbhenderson.wordpress.com The site still needs work - an introduction, a blog, but at least I have a internet presence now. Books: Goals for Monthly Reading Challenge for March/April is 5 books. The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer - currently reading. The Woods: A Year On Protection Island by Amber McMillian - currently reading Poetry Will Save Your Life by Jill Bialosky - currently reading. Embrace Your Weird by Felicia Day - currently reading. Fierce On The Page by Sage Cohen - currently rereading. Depression and Other Magic Tricks by - currently reading. The Sweet Spot by Stephanie Evanovich - currently reading. The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass - Currently reading. With the insurgence of this Covid-19 pandemic I am finding it very hard to concentrate on reading. I have started more books, but am having trouble finishing anything. Thank goodness it is a two month challenge! I will do the Poetry Blog Challenge for the month of March.
