My promise to post daily in April having crashed and burned, I now set out on a new adventure: A Round of Words in 80 Days.
I’m starting late, so my round will comprise only 73 days. But, as Huckleberry Finn says, that ain’t no matter.
A Round of Words in 80 Days bills itself as “The Writing Challenge That Knows You Have a Life.”
Funny–every time I’m positive I don’t have one, I discover I do. This time it was the notorious newsletter. I kept adding and fixing and writing and rewriting, all week long, and finding one more thing to do. It went out Saturday and is slightly shorter than Gone With the Wind.
At this rate, my literary legacy will be titled, The Collected Newsletters of Kathy Waller.
So again I take The Pledge.
The first requirement is to post measurable goals. Here are mine:
I will
- write 500 words a day on Molly, 5 days a week;
- exercise for 30 minutes, 5 days a week;
- go to bed between 9:30 and 11:00 p.m. every night, including Friday and Saturday.
Those goals are easily measured. Listed in order of importance, they would be reversed, but this is a writing challenge, so writing stays on top.
The second requirement is to sign up by linking this post to the ROW80 list.
The third requirement is to check in on Sundays and Wednesdays.
The final requirement is to end this post and start working on #3.
