Update: Busy achieving goals (2025.02.07)
by Tobber Author IconMail Icon
Being late with the update is clearly turning into a very bad habit for me. This time, I didn't even remember to get it done Monday morning, but only well into the afternon.

In my defence, part of the reason was, once again, that I tried to include the weekend in chasing my writing (related) goals. And with some success, I might add. *Delight*

So, how did it go? Let's see.

Writing goals

*BoxCheck* Write every day: Yes! And it was all writing, no outlining or editing, which are always the best weeks for me. More than 2500 words written during the week, which was unusually productive for me.

*BoxCheck* Continue my entry for the Danish SF anthology: Check again. All the writing I did was for this story, which was good, because I realize that the deadline for submission is start of March, not end of March! That puts a bit more stress on me, but with writing going well the last couple of weeks, I should have the first draft ready soon enough.

*BoxCheck* Do a review: Got that one done as well.

*Box* Do another review: Missed the target on this one. I did start reading and taking notes for another review, but I didn't get far before real life started pulling me away.

*BoxCheck* Submit stories: Yes! And I'm really happy about reaching this one. I neglected submitting stories all through January, but I got my entire backlog sent out this week.


Other goals

*BoxCheck* Get exercise: Got in one exercise sessions and tow solid runs. So, a bit above the goal.

*BoxCheck* / *Box* Eat healthy: It would probably be stretching it a bit to say that I succeeded with this one. Stop snacking completely is tough. On the other hand, I don't recall eating any sweets or cake or ice cream, so I wouldn't say I failed either.

*BoxCheck* Do vocal exercises: Got this done early in the week, which was good, because I've been struck by another round of the cold with a sore throat to follow.

*BoxCheck* Finish Fantasticon prep-work: Check. I caught up the backlog. Now I just need to get the all the follow-up work that created done.

*BoxCheck* Catch up on Codex: Another backlog cleared. I might aiming at also participating in discussions now. *Smile*

I'd say that was a very good week in terms of my goals and writing.
