Around the Words in 80 days' Goals (ROW80)

I have decided I need to extend my "little world" So this 2nd round of Around the Words in 80 days, is about extending my world, changes I can make to get beyond "me." 

The last round I learned I have a hard time keeping my goals for 80 days so this time I'm breaking it into 20 days/set of goals.

How am I going to do that?

I'm going to get each 20 days a theme.  The first theme is create.

Writing/Editing Goals

• Not only weekly and mid-week report but daily reports.
• Visit a ROW80er's blog each day.
• Edit a page of my Feathers and Deaf WIP each day.
• Work on some plot ideas to improve Feathers and Deaf.
• Write a page of my notebook story titled Days with Caleb.

Life Goals

• Check out, maybe buy, Matthew Hussey's Book Get the Guy and watch the matchmakers' TV show Ready for Love.  (Hey as a child I loved the show Love Connection!  My best friend and I would stay up late to watch it, thro I think I liked the show more than she did.) If nothing maybe I get a story idea out of it.
• Keep applying for jobs and anything else I think I need to do to improve my chances of landing a job like washing my black pants for in store applying and interviews. I need a day job to support this writing habit.
• Re-decorate my bedroom and my sitting/TV/writing room.

This is my plan to create and extend my world.  I leave you with a music video titled My Own Little World by Matthew West. (Below that is the blog hop)

ROW 80 - 8 Days Left

Alright eight days left of my first round of around the words in 80 days and the next one starts April 1st.
What have I learned from this writing chellenge so far?

1. I'm not good at keeping goals for 80 days.
2. DON'T GIVE UP!
3. Today is a new day for aiming at the goal.
4. You may have to change the goals, but don't give up!
5. That I'm still learning.
6. Write, Write, Edit Edit.
7. The story or editing will happen one word at a time.

Goal for the eight days left.

• To edit one page a day.
• To not give up on my writing, or on other things in my life.

Yesterday Lee McAulay left this Emily Dickinson's poem on the Around the Words in 80 days blog.

“They may not need me, but they might
I’ll let my smile stay just in sight
A smile as small as mine might be
Exactly their necessity.”

 

I think I'll remember it for today's motto.

 

Well ROW80ers, how's y'all writing coming?

Happy Writing,

Annie Laurie
