How’m I doing on those goals?

When I set my goals for the year in 2014, I also committed to doing regular updates. Just about every month I met that commitment. I also felt as if I accomplished more of my goals last year than usual, and I suspect that making the regular reports helped keep me focused on the goals, so I’m doing it again.

Last year each goal was paired with some specific tasks based on the notion of trying to replace a bad habit with a good one. This year’s goals continue that idea and include extending the success of some of last year’s.

So, how did I do…? Continue reading How’m I doing on those goals?

…and what I had for breakfast

My lynx plushy seated at my laptop.
One wonders how I hit 105 wpm with these paws.
There will be no reports of any of my breakfasts in this post. A friend uses the phrase “what I had for breakfast” to describe a certain style of blogging that many of us fall into from time-to-time (and some seem to do always). Today’s post is a mish-mash that hits lots of topics, such as: my specific writing goals for the rest of the month, me getting tangentially caught in a blow-by from an anti-gay activist, and a few other oddments in my life. If none of those trivial details sounds of interest, don’t click… Continue reading …and what I had for breakfast

Resolutions, and how I did with the 2014 goals

Cat with a manual typewriter.When I set my goals for the year, I said I’d do monthly check-ins, and I managed it every month except November, which was swallowed up by NaNoWriMo, so that’s not too bad. Click the link to see how I did:

Drop-kick me, Odin, through the goal posts of life*

Cat with a manual typewriter.When I set my goals for the year, I said I’d do regular check-ins. And for the first ten months I did. I wound up not posting an update on my goals in the first week of November because during November I was working on NaNoWriMo, determined to get 50,000 words into the next novel in that month. Since last year I had posted two or three updates on my NaNoWriMo progress during the month, I figured I would do the same this year, and maybe sneak in a little bit about the over all goals.

But I only did two updates about my NaNoWriMo progress, and neither of them talked about the rest of the goals.

I tried to set very concrete steps for achieving my goals. Inspired by a friend’s suggestion, I tried to identify a better habit to replace each bad habit. So, here’s the check-in for both October and Novemeber:

Camp NaNoWriMo is described as NaNoWriMo Lite… but it doesn’t have to be.
When I set my goals for the year, I tried to set very concrete steps for achieving them. Inspired by a friend’s suggestion, I modeled the tasks on the notion how one trains a pet: if a dog shows a penchant for chewing up shoes, it isn’t enough to scold the dog and try to keep the shoes out of reach; you must give the dog an acceptable chew toy. In other words, replace a bad habit with a better one.

So let’s see how I’m doing: Continue reading I set these goals for the year, see
