It’s a three day weekend here in the states. I’m just a figment of your imagination.
Writing/Editing:
- Morning Pages for a minimum of 250 words or half hour, whichever comes first, every day. I actually sat down on Friday and popped out 435 words. Then again yesterday with 381 words.
Color me surprised - Fiction, either 250 new words (new or existing WIP) or 1 hour of editing each week. Not a word, yet I stubbornly refuse to take this goal down. It’s become my elephant in the room though.
- Post three times a week here on the blog. Nope, but I’m keeping it green. We had Are We There Yet? on Sunday, Tuesdays were put on Hiatus last week, and we met the Child (Page) of Earth on Thursday.
Reading:
- A minimum of 8 books to stay on track for 100 books this year. COMPLETE + 1, with 9 books read this Round.
- Update Goodreads at least every other week. Not this week.
Support/Social Media:
- Visit and comment on 5 blogs, at least three times per week, for a total of 15 blogs each week. A whomping 5 😦
- One non-blog related post per week on Facebook and Twitter. Nope.
- One share, re-tweet, whatnot per week on Facebook and Twitter. Nope.
Non-Writery Stuff:
- Exercise three times per week. I got out with Beastie Girl once and did two yoga sessions.
- Complete The 30-day Diabetes Cure in April. COMPLETE.
- Family day, no working and time with family, one day per week. Yep.
How was your week?
You can find and support other ROWers HERE.

Considering everything that’s on your plate, I think you’re doing great. And good for you for doing the Diabetes challenge and yoga.
I know these summaries are supposed to keep you on target but if I had that much on my to-do list (not to mention ALL you do for your family) I’d collapse. 🙂
Well done! Hope you have Monday off.

Says the woman with a homestead to run, two careers to manage, four dogs (though admittedly easier than my four boys), and a hubby…
Thanks Maria!

Re: though admittedly easier than my four boys
I rest my case. Though I think husbands are more trouble than kids or dogs. 😉

No argument there 😀

I see the reds and greens shifting as you get in what you can. That’s what matters. Get in what you can realistically handle and smile for the accomplishments made. Adjust as you can 🙂
Enjoy the holiday!
Raelyn Barclay said:
Yeah, they’re shifting all right, LOL.
Thanks Angela!

Lots of stuff to juggle! Is that 8 books per week, or per Row80 round? Congrats on the non-writerly goals too. That one’s always the hardest for me, hehe.
Raelyn Barclay said:
8 per week…oh, that’d be so awesome. No, it’s 8 over the course of the round.
Thanks Angela!

Raelyn,
I love this list, and its energy. I generally have a sehlat (Not an elephant) or two in my goals lists, too.
And why is it that sometimes it seems impossible to post one thing a day on social media, or to visit and comment on a blog or two? I don’t know why, but I have been there many times!
You’ve accomplished much. Hold that head high! =)
Raelyn Barclay said:
LOL, wasn’t sehlat the Vulcan bear-dog-pet-thing?
Or Monty Python…for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth… :makes fangs with fingers and holds them in front of mouth:
Okay, geek over. Oh, to be able to one day answer that social media/blog commenting question! Thanks Shan 🙂
shanjeniah said:
you know the sehlat! Cool.
Spock’s mother described it as a sort of teddy bear, to which Spock added, “On Vulcan, the teddy bears are alive, and they have six-inch fangs.”
I’ve been watching Enterprise. T’Pol also had one. She reports that Vulcan children are never late with their sehlat’s dinner.
*Geek zestfully picked up and run with!*
A few of us are starting the Random Coalition on Twitter, for chaotic social media types….wanna join? We’ll even let you pick out your cape color! =)

Oh, I’m a Trekkie, just not the convention going verity 🙂
The Random Coalition eh? Perhaps you could drop me an email or direct message me on Twitter with the details.
