Goal Update 8/1

So yesterday was my first day back at work. And I’m really glad it was only a half day, cause it kicked my ass. I’m so out of shape.

And now I’ll be working half days all week. So uh. I may just keep my schedule for all this and just see what happens.

GOAL 1) PUBLISH SKOS

  • My Goal: Spend at least 10 mins, 3 days/week minimum
  • Where I planned to be: Spent at least 30 mins
  • Where I am: Made a wrong turn in Albuquerque
  • On Target or Behind: Uhhh

How’s It Going:
I’m in the thick of overhauling Keziah and… it’s going better than I thought? Either that or I’m doing it wrong, I don’t know. Other than that, I have one more scene to add, and I’m not sure what to put in it. I mean, I know I need to have Madison and his dad in there, and things are not going well for either of them, and it’s also Thanksgiving, but I’m just not sure how I’m gonna do it yet.

GOAL 2) REVISE SYCU

  • My Goal: 2 Lessons per month/ 1 Lesson every 2 weeks (except L17 and L21, which get 4 weeks min)
  • Where I planned to be: Lesson 17, 30 scenes in
  • Where I am: Lesson 17, 23 scenes in
  • On Target or Behind: Behind

How’s It Going:
If I’d just powered through that one new scene on Tuesday… But I didn’t, so I ended up spending something like 5 hours on Thursday just trying to sort of catch up because I’m a garbage can.

Other than that, I feel like everything’s coming together well? I think I got the scenes in the right order at least, because they seem to just flow into each other really well. And I feel like I’m doing a decent job at making the reader question who the villain really is. Now if I could just knock out more scenes at a time…

GOAL 3) SURVIVAL

  • My Goal: 500 WPD, 1500 WPW
  • Where I planned to be: 27000 words
  • Where I am: 27495 words
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:
I’m screwed.

I got all of my characters in the same place, one of them seriously injured, and… now I don’t know where to go. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do after I finished up this scene and I’ve gotten nowhere. And now I have no idea what happens next.

I may have to dig through some of Holly’s other classes for the big guns.
