This has been a busy week and writing was not even a blip on the radar. Sigh.
However, I did stumble on this Feelings Chart yesterday. Love the layers illustrated. A tool for the ol’ character toolbox?
Yearly Goals
- I have once again registered on Goodreads to read 100 books. However, this may change as I plan to put writing before reading this year.
- Lose 50 pounds. I slacked off the last part of 2013, ’nuff said. – No change this week (4.2 total) probably due to my water intake being down.
Quarterly (AKA ROW80) Goals
- Draft the Steampunk story I attempted for NaNo 2013. Oh, and figure out a title.
- Read Who Are You in the Tarot?
by Mary K. Greer and do the applicable exercises. – Read two chapters, no exercises yet.
Monthly Goals
- Read, at least, one paper book. With the ease of carrying my eReaders around my poor paper books have been neglected. – Goal attained for January. Read Desire’s Edge
by Eden Bradley writing as Eve Berlin. Goal attained for February. Read A Knight in Shining Armor
by Jude Deveraux.
- At least, one date night with That Man. – Goal attained for January.
Weekly Goals:
- Spend a minimum of 3 hours per week on writing. – Not attained.
- Maintain 3 blog posts per week. – Not attained. Only 2 of the 3.
- Visit and comment on at least 12 blogs per week, 3 of which HAVE to be ROW80 blogs. – Target attained (17/4 ROW blogs).
- Connect on Facebook and Twitter with, at least, one non-blog post or share per week. – Target attained for Facebook. Not attained for Twitter.
- Maintain books read on Goodreads. – Target attained.
- Exercise 3 times per week. – Not attained. Only 1 of the 3. Started back with yoga. Oh the quivering muscles!!

How was your first week of February?

It looks like the only area that had a bit more red than desired was the weekly goals. Pfft! It happens 🙂 Keep at it and do you best. That’s all you can ask of yourself.
I can only go forward, right? Thanks Angela 🙂
I really liked A Knight in Shining Armor, although it’s been years since I read it and I can hardly remember it anymore. Maybe time to find a copy somewhere and reread, see if I would agree with my old self. 🙂
Congrats on the goals achieved!
I enjoyed the story but the writing/editing style didn’t agree with me. Thanks Ruth 🙂
At least you made the effort at all of them–including writing. You did write this blog after all. 🙂
I know a lot of people don’t count that as writing, but I do. It’s exercise for the author-brain.
I’m not sure how much of an exercise this particular post was, but I’ll take it. Thanks Maria 🙂
Thanks for sharing the feelings chart. I suspect it will come in handy!
For some reason, I didn’t make quite as much progress on my WIP as I would’ve liked last week, but I’ll keep plugging away at it. Let’s hope this week is a productive one for both of us! Have a great week, Raelyn!
Some weeks are like that, aren’t they? Thanks Denise and the same to you 🙂
