2011 Goal Check in, Month 3

Boy do I have a busy day ahead of me. I got my revision letter for my latest book last night, so I’m excited to dive into that, I have a contract to sign (yay! Work!), and I have to finish reading my critique partner’s latest sure-to-be-a-bestseller.

But first, let’s talk about March. Ah, March. March, in which I wrote about 30k words, owing to the fact that I can’t seem to leave well enough alone when it comes to certain manuscripts, and must tear them open from the roots and rewrite them.

Writing: See above. I also figured out the whole digital vertical publishing thing. And I got a new short story contract.

Home: Way cleaner (though I still need to fix my office). ! Oh, and I did my taxes.

Blog: Only blogged 5 times. But they were quality ones. (In passing, this is already my fourth blog of April, so we’re seeing some general improvement there.)

Quality time with SB: We had another date night. Also, since the baby has started to sleep more regular hours, we have a lot of time together once she’s gone to bed.

Rio: Another rough month for Rio, though she did get some good weekend hikes. The weather is getting much nicer now, so I hope to get into a new rhythm of taking her out.

Garden: Still too cold to plant. But I’ve been making plans.

And, the big list:

  1. Revise/finish my contracted novel.
  2. Write short story #1
  3. Write short story #2
  4. Write short story #3
  5. Write new proposal #1
  6. Write new proposal/book #2
  7. Go to one writing-related conference.
  8. Walk my dog.
  9. Plant a garden.
  10. Make sure I spend quality time with Sailor Boy.
  11. Do at least two home improvement projects.
  12. Cut our budget.(Made massive inroads into this one this month!)

How are you all doing?
