A plunge into the unknown #ROW80

July 6, 2014
Written by adrianjsmith

Well, I’ve decided to do it. With eveROW80Logocopyrything going on in my life right now, I need the boost of help. So here I am, ready to join in my first round of ROW80. I hope it works out. I’m traveling a lot this round, so one of my goals is to be flexible.

I believe the first post comes with goals.

1. Fallen from Grace: write 1 chapter a week (moving week excluded)
2. Promo: Answer three interview questions a day until done
3. Promo: Write out a guest post a week until done
4. Lovely, Dark, and Deep short story needs to be written/plotted 500 words a day due Aug 31st
5. Paranormal Romance short story 500 words/day due Aug 9th

Those are my goals for this round that will probably change. With moving to a new state, starting a new full-time job, and traveling across the country, I’m hoping I can get this done.

I’m also hoping I don’t come up with anymore story ideas throughout this round other than those necessary for the short stories because I need to focus on these stories and not new ones. My main goal through this month, as I mentioned before, is to be flexible. Not only flexible with my writing, but flexible with life in general. If any year was a year of changes, this one is it.

 

Oh…and if I do anything wrong with this, let me know and I’ll fix it. Newbie here! =P

#ROW80 update and progress on goals

This has been a crazy hard month for us, started really end of January, and it's looking to continue to be another rough month. My spouse was fired, we're switching kids' daycare because of abuse issues, I've been sick with some cold, stomach bug through the house,...

Open when you get fired… #loveletters #openwhen

Oh love, My heart breaks for you. This isn't what you wanted or what I wanted. And it is completely out of our hands. Let me hold you, love. Let me hold you while you cry, while you curse, while you run worries around your head so much that you don't know where to...

    Welcome, Adrian, to the Round world! Your goals look fine. I’m sure you’ll do just great! Don’t forget, though, to take ME time (preferably every day) to rest and recharge, and to specifically NOT worry about everything you need to do. Call it meditation, call it pampering, call it whatever, it’s very important and usually overlooked.

    Welcome, again! Best of luck to you. 😀

      I always take time for that =P thanks for stopping by!

        I had to actually add ME time to my goals, so I wouldn’t guilt out about taking it when I ‘oughta’ be writing. It’s going to be a challenge, to not feel guilty about goofing off! 😉

          I’m good at planning down time because my life as pretty much been crazy busy since middle school. This last year was a testament to how busy I can make myself.
