My #ROW80 goals posted on July 10, plus progress:
- Edit the AMW story for its last (I hope) critique;
Not yet, but tomorrow I’ll get a critique from another partner. It’s better to have everything in before making changes. - Write and schedule the WWW post at least two days before the July 19 deadline;
It’s finished, and SIX days before the deadline. I’m going to the doctor to see what’s wrong–I never finish a piece SIX days before the deadline. I’ll continue to change little things, but it’s polished enough to be posted today. So I’m putting this one in the Watermelon Met* column. - Draft the second half of the story “Texas Boss” and turn in to AMW for critique;
- Finish a very rough draft of “Thank You, Mr. Poe,” the story I started last week;
- Complete the piece for the AMW blog and schedule it to post before midnight tonight.
I posted it. Not before midnight. At 3:00 a.m. But I met the AMW deadline, and that’s close enough. Watermelon Met.
Summary: I set out to meet two deadlines and met them. The three remaining tasks aren’t time-sensitive. They carry over. The first, polishing the story for the proposed AMW anthology, must be finished by August 1, so it’s priority.
I’m adding three new goals to the list. Then I’m going to take a nap.
- Edit the AMW story for its (I hope) final major critique
- Draft the second half of the story “Texas Boss” and submit to AMW for critique
- Finish a very rough draft of “Thank You, Mr. Poe,” the story I started last week
- By September 5th, read at least ten of the books on my 20 Books of Summer 2016 list.
- Post #ROW80 reports on Sundays and Wednesdays.
- Visit three new #ROW80 blogs a day.
- Take three naps a week.*
*Start as soon as this has been posted.

This is the first time I’ve seen “take naps” on the list. Awesome!

When I wrote it, I could hardly keep my eyes open. That’s why it made the list. And I would stay awake twenty-four hours a day if I could, so I hope putting including it will be a good influence..

I am totally supportive of your nap goal! That sounds like good sense and research has shown it does wonders for the brain, as it enables it to sort it’s processes out better.
Congrats on getting Watermelon Met done ahead of the deadline. That’s great news.
Good luck.

Napping is really the most important goal on my list. Someday I’ll include “Go to bed by 10:00 p.m.,” but right now that would be too much.
Thanks for your comment and your support.

I keep forgetting that writing is hard work and can tire you out.

Hahaha! I know that feeling! “I… finished? Ahead of time? checks calendar again … Did I forget to eat or sleep or something?” 😛
Congratulations!
Taking three naps a week sounds like a very good goal to me. I hope you make it!

I’ve finished things on time, but never ahead of time. I didn’t know I could be ultra-punctual. As for naps, I may make it to seven a week.
Thanks for commenting.
