Update: Hitting the targets that matter (2025.03.28)

I won't go as far as calling it a great writing week, but considering that I was only starting up after vacation and work threw a pile of s*** at me, it turned out pretty well. I didn't reach all my goals, but I got the most important ones done.

Writing Goals

*Boxcheck* Write every day: Check. Got some outlining done Monday and managed to edit an older novelette the rest of the week, making it ready for reviewers.

*Box* Do reading/analysis exercises for my DIY MFA-thingy: Nope. And I more or less called this one beforehand. Work simply didn't leave me with enough time for this one, which is quite a time consuming task.

*Boxcheck* *Boxcheck* *Boxcheck* Do a review (for Codex or WYRM): I'm really happy with this one. One Codex review and two reviews for WYRM. I haven't been that active reviewing for ages.

*Boxcheck* Read short stories: The goals was reading/listing to 2-3 short stories, and I did that. Two over at Podcastle and one from Uncanny, and even better yet, they were all excellent stories, making me want to read more next week.


Writing Related (sort of) Goals

*Boxcheck* Get exercise: I didn't think I'd get all that much done this week, but so far it's 1½ training sessions and a 6K run this week while also staying during the in-between days. That's more than approve.

*Box* Eat healthy: Ugh, no. I failed even worse than usual with this one. I really, really need to up my game when it comes to snacking.

*Boxcheck* Participate in Codex lunch: Did that. *Smile* Though, sadly, it looks like I'll miss the lunch next week.

*Boxcheck* Be active on Codex: Did the lunch-thingy and a review and followed up on every discussion and blog I was interested in, so that's a definite yes!

*Boxcheck* Do vocal exercises: Almost hit 2 exercises per day. So that's another success.

Overall, that's not the kind of week I can complain about.
