I had been doing really well with my goal of writing 500-1000 words every day on my WIP until yesterday (Wednesday). I managed to write every day and get a poem done. Editing is on hold for a few days as I'm waiting for answers from my editor. So it's been a great week so far. I do believe I can continue with the trend!
This morning I have a much needed massage and this afternoon I actually have an interview with a reporter about my latest book. That's kind of exciting! Not a lot of interest in Common Insects of Nunavut so I am pleased to be able to promote it!! I have not done many media interviews so I hope it will be interesting and fun.
I am finding these check-ins to be helping with my motivation. I have my goals written on a white board behind my computer where I can see them every time I sit here. Makes everything seem more real and concrete. I am starting to feel more comfortable in my new home.
It is definitely motivating to have concrete goals and be accountable. Hope your media interview goes well and you reminded me I have a massage booked for tuesday....oh bliss!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week!
Some days just get away from us. You're making great progress with your 500-1000 words, so a skipped day now and then seems not too terrible at all.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having your goals posted where you can see them while you're writing. I am wondering how I might do that (I write at my work desk and with my laptop at home, so no actual wall to hang my goals on)--it seems like it would be a nice motivational boost.
Keep persevering! You are doing great!
Hope the interview went well. I, too, find the ROW80 check-ins motivational. Great job on meeting your goals!
