Today is Sunday’s check-in for ROW80 – the writing community that offers support and accountability.
Here are my goals and what I’ve done on them since Wednesday.
Writing:
1. Write daily – at least 500 words daily. Yes
2. Take part in CampNaNoWriMo.Yes – every day but Friday. I’m still behind but at least I’m writing.
3. Write first draft of novella `Christmas Renewed“ -steadily working on it; up to 7 chapters
4.. Write first draft of a chapter book No
5. Write at least one picture book a month not this week
6. Take one online writing course and enter at least one writing contest. No
Editing/Revising
1. Revise/edit “ Catching Love” still stymied as to how to revise Chap. 1 (anyone like romance, would want to read chap 1 and give a blunt assessment/idea/help??)
2. Revise/edit several picture books -No
Blogging
1. Support my ROW team 2x a week Yes
2. Take part in A to Z April Challenge.Yes -every day
3. Write at least 2 other posts weekly besides ROW80 posts. Yes

3. Read for pleasure – definitely yes – romance, MG, fantasy
Personal
1. Create daily – yes
2. Follow healthy habits: ~walk 3x a week and ~drink 6 – 8 glasses of water a day
I’ve gotten up to 25 min. on the treadmill now – aiming for at least 30 min 3x this week; drinking more water
This week I need to really push on writing the novella, as I want to submit it at the end of April.
I also need to revise at least one picture book this week.
You’re making good progress. Bev. All these habits need to be done, and done, and done again, which you are starting to do, so good job there. The rest will come!
Thanks Elizabeth.
