With the first quarter wrapped-up, we should check in and see where I have landed for our personal goals, eh? Back in January, I posted five personal goals to this site. With some varying degrees of success, I have been chipping away at these goals January through March. Let’s see how well I weigh in […]
Since last year’s resolutions goals were such a success, I figured that I would do it again this time. Turning these “New Year’s resolutions” into goals and then making them measurable seems to be the way to go. Plus, all that measurability really lets the Inner Geek shine through with all that obsessive tracking and […]
Personal goals for 2007: after last quarter, let’s see where we landed for 2007 overall: Write approx. 80,000 40,000 new words of fiction. This goal morphed so many times over the year. First it was focused on 80k words in my novel project; then it was 80k new words on any project; then 40k new […]
Personal goals for 2007: let’s see where we are after Q3: Write approx. 80,000 new words of fiction. …with at least 40,000 words of “totally new” fiction. As I updated this goal once already this year, I won’t bother updating it again. That would seem like cheating. That said, I think I may have picked […]
Personal goals for 2007: doing pretty well last quarter; let’s see where we are now: Write approx. 80,000 new words of fiction. This is updated from “write another 80,000 word draft of my novel”. Good news, re-writing the goal helped me get motivated. As if to say “all of my writing counts”. Bad news, I’m […]
Back in January, we put forth a few personal goals for 2007. Let’s see where we stand, eh? Write another draft of my novel. We’d written this up as “another draft of at least 80,000 words with at least 40,000 words worth of new material.” To date, I’ve written 6,475 words. Maybe 3,500 of those […]
Inspired by Mike’s post, I feel it appropriate to put my own resolutions goals up for 2007. I’ll stick with calling them “goals” because “resolutions” sounds so corny and uncommitted. Hopefully, we can even have these be measurable… 😉 Write another draft of my novel. I’m shooting for another draft of at least 80,000 words […]
