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

Personal
1. Create daily – yes

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.
