Ugh, September. UGH!!! It started out bad and only managed
to get worse from there. One of my cats got out of the house and never came back,
and honestly I’ve been devastated about that. Then I got sick—me!—and that
included double ear infections (you saw the comic) which made me feel like I constantly
had cotton in my ears. You know what I do when I’m writing? Listen to
music/television. You know what’s really hard to do with ear infections? Exactly that.
September Goals
1. Work on REMEMBER notes. I’d really prefer getting them
all done, but…it’s not going to happen and no amount of goading myself will
help, so I might as well be realistic and promise myself to do something.
Nope. Not a bit, which I’m
disappointed in, but I was also depressed and unable to concentrate, so I
should probably cut myself a little slack there…
2. Add 10K to the new WIP. Only ten because I really want to
make some headway on those notes, and I figure it will be better not to over
commit.
See above.
3. Work on making the stick figure comics a regular part of
the blog. Honestly, I’m surprised how many people seem to enjoy them. I
probably won’t be able to think of something funny every week, but maybe every
other.
At least I managed to do this
one…
This month’s goals are going to be modest…I just hope I do
them this time…
October Goals
1. Work on, and preferably finish, REMEMBER notes. For real.
Seriously.
2. Finish my non-writing side project (I don’t usually put
these on the list, but I might actually be able to do this one).
3. More stick figure comics! You guys are weirdly easy to
please.
Either that or we're just weird.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, finish the notes! For real. You can do it.
I really do love those stick figures.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall my September to be a month of unending horror, but unless my day job situation improves quickly, October and November will.
Something to look forward to, I suppose.
Best of luck with your goals!
Sorry it was such a bad month -- and very sorry about your cat. :(
ReplyDeleteSeptember was me adjusting to not being a teacher and figuring out how to fill my days productively.
October is pretty busy. I have a lot of author events, and I am hoping the "high" I get off those events will translate into some power-writing.
I am sorry about your cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your cat. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteI have a kind of constant paranoia that mine will get out and disappear, because, if he disappears, it's because he got himself into trouble. Which is the whole reason he's not allowed out anymore.
On the other hand, sometimes, I wish he would get out.
heh
Yes, it's a love/hate/love relationship.
I'm sorry about your cat. I get how devastating that can be.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on having a good October. October hasn't been cooperating. Yet. But that's about to change.
Ouch! Both ears? Poor baby. :(
ReplyDeleteMy September was not very productive, writing-wise. October is looking much better. ;)
Hi Jeanne - sorry about your beloved critter - I hate losing animals .. and then can quite understand your feeling of hopelessness at their loss.
ReplyDeleteEar-ache in both ears .. no - not funny at all ...
Take care and I do hope October comes up trumps .. cheers Hilary
I think stick figures are funny! No clue why, but I do. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new goals!
