My Creatively Random Life

Here I am, a day late AGAIN.  But I am updating so there's that.  Packing to move children is terrible, I remember it being easier last time but I had one less kid and he was only just over a year old and had so much less stuff. Ready. Set. WRITE! is a summer writing intensive that provides an opportunity for us to cheer each other on wherever we’re at in our writing—planning, drafting, or revising. This year, RSW is being hosted by  Alison Miller ,  Katy Upperman ,  Erin Funk ,  Elodie Nowodazkij , and of course,   Jamie Morrow  which is how I found it. This week's check up is looking a little better. 1.  How I did on last week’s goals: I did write a few words on my WiP, literally I think in amounted to maybe three or four sentences. :( I DID NOT find my summer hats, we took Cat to the beach and I have a nasty sunburn as sunscreen was not enough.  I also DID NOT go see Antman or schedule pick up of stuff to be donated. ...

This week's check up is a few days late. 1.  How I did on last week’s goals: Well...my son left for Calgary on Friday so there's that but that's about all I've achieved outside of making it to work in the last week due to migraines from the depths of a place I won't name.  And well to be honest he did most of the work on that one. 2.  My goal(s) for this week: Write something on my WiP Pack, purge and pack some more Go see Antman Unearth my summer hats. Schedule pick up of donation items 3.  A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised: Wh...

Okay, so I skipped updating last week due to all the stress.  Yay stress! Ready. Set. WRITE! is a summer writing intensive that provides an opportunity for us to cheer each other on wherever we’re at in our writing—planning, drafting, or revising. This year, RSW is being hosted by  Alison Miller ,  Katy Upperman ,  Erin Funk ,  Elodie Nowodazkij , and of course,   Jamie Morrow  which is how I found it. 1.  How I did on last week’s goals: We found a condo to move to so my writing took a bit of a backseat while I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to organize myself for the fact that moving is actually reality now and happening much sooner than I am prepared for.   I did get a couple hundred words out though and I rocked the water drinking.   2.  My goal(s) for this week: Get 1500 words on my WIP. Start purging my books drink more water get boxes for packing organize my son to go out wes...

This week's check up is looking a little better. 1.  How I did on last week’s goals: I got some writing done, I did not hit my goal of 1500 words but I did get a couple hundred in.  Sadly June is such a crazy month that it makes it hard to sit down and write. I did get a slight start on purging my books, or I read a book and decided that I didn't want to keep it. Then decided I needed a second set of hands if I was going to make any actual progress on purging anything in my house to move. I have drank a lot more water and feel better for it but still have migraines most days. 2.  My goal(s) for this w...

So this should have been up yesterday but I was super busy. Ready. Set.

This year, RSW is being hosted by  Alison Miller ,  Katy Upperman ,  Erin Funk ,  Elodie Nowodazkij , and of course,   Jamie Morrow  which is how I found it. 1.  How I did on last week’s goals: Recovering from being sick last week really threw me off my game but I did pull off some progress, so I am ok with that.  As long as I am moving forward.  I only hit 200 words on my WIP but I am happy with them so I am not going to beat myself up over it.   I got in one work out so that was good given that I felt like I was going to die for most of the week.  Everything else pretty much fell out of my hands with the being sick. 2.  My goal(s) for this week: Get 1500 words on my WIP. Start ...

Today is goal setting day!  Yay!  So here are my goals for this summer: 1) Crank out 1500 words a week on my current WIP. 2) Finish off that side project I am working on so that it's not distracting me. 3) Get up early and work out 3 times a week. 4) Get my review posts up on my blog in a timely manner.

If you have been around here for any length of time then you know that I have a WIP (or twelve) that I am lovingly procrastinating writing.  I will make really great progress on it every once and a while but then I hit a snag (usually my own perfectionism) and I don't touch the keyboard for months. Well I am DYING to finish it and move on with my life and Jamie Morrow has provided me with just the right nudge in that direction with  Ready. Set. WRITE!  which starts on June 8. Ready. Set.
