Goals: Building habits (2025.03.10)
by Tobber Author IconMail Icon
At least when it comes to writing related stuff, I've had a good last couple of weeks. Next week, though, we're going on holiday with some friends (and way too many kids between us), which probably means no or very little writing getting. So, this week, is all about just keeping things steady and keeping the habits I've been building the last couple of weeks.

Writing Goals

*Box* Write every day: As always, this one i the top priority.

*Box* Do writing exercises for my DIY MFA-thingy: I guess most of my writing will probably be writing exercises. Still, it should go on the list.

*Box* Do reading/analysis exercises for my DIY MFA-thingy: This one will be more difficult to find the time for, but I'm hoping on rereading one or two pieces related to my DIY MFA, specifically chapters or short stories that does something special with characters.

*Box* Do a review (for Codex or WYRM): There weren't anything up for review on Codex last week. I'm hoping that has changed this week. If not, I will at least have to do a review for WYRM.

*Box* Read short stories: I got around to reading a couple of published short stories last week for the first time in months, and I'm hoping to do the same this week.


Writing Related (sort of) Goals

*Box* Get exercise: Two exercise sessions / runs is the goal, while staying active in the in-between days..

*Box* Eat healthy: This is definitely the goal I've been struggling the most with. It hasn't been going terribly, but there's always that one or two days during the week where I snack to much. Fingers crossed that I can manage it this week.

*Box* Participate in Codex lunch: It's really nice to have this one social thing related to my writing, so I'm striving to keep that going.

*Box* Be active on Codex: Vague as always, but I need to at least check if there are any discussions I want to participate in.

*Box* Do Fantasticon prep work: There's another meeting coming up in the planning group for our local SF/F con, and I have a couple of emails I need to send out beforehand.

*Box* Do vocal exercises: As always. I'm aiming for twice a day, but if I do the exercises once a day throughout the week, that's okay too.
