Weekly Goals

This was an odd week, extremely busy at work, home sick some of the time, yet also a lot of spare time creeping in at times. I guess it reflects in my goals. I hit some which I had not expected to, and missed or nearly missed others that I was relatively certain I would hit.


Write/edit/outline every day: My number one priority, yet due to work, I nearly missed getting anything done both Thursday and Friday. I manged though.

Do vocal exercises: Sore throat kept me from doing the exercises at the start of the week, but I kept up the routine when I felt better. I count that as a win.

Do a review: Another one I felt certain I would hit but didn't manage until today.

/ Get exercise: I got around to doing some proper exercise twice this week, which was technically the goal. But on the other hand, I wasn't very active at work, sitting down most of the time.

/ Do a blog post: I got one done, which was more than expected. Though, at the same time, I had hoped to prepare one or two additional posts.

/ Finish editing my last completed short story/novelette: Got all the developmental editing done. At least, I fixed the things I knew how to. It could still be a better story. I'm not completely done with the final readthrough/copy edit, though. Also, I found out that I had gotten copy edits for my Danish story, which I should've gone through and accepted, so this is probably a mostly failed goal.

Submit stories: I only had one story to submit, yet somehow I never found the time for it. This on goes straight into next week's goals.

All in all, it was a pretty good writing week, considering where I thought it would go and how little time and energy I had.
