ROW 80

I'm happy with what I accomplished this week.  Lowering my minimum daily word count for this year meant that it was easy to push myself to write on the days when I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed.  I didn't read enough the first week of January and I'm not happy when I'm not reading, which sounds ridiculous, but it's true.  I would rather write slower and have the time to read then write really fast and only have the vague idea of books I used to read.

This week, I read more, wrote five days in a row, and met my minimum weekly goal.  The last two days, I took some time off to be an Awesome Aunt to an Awesome Six Year Old.  I spent the time after he went to bed working on outlining a story instead of writing.  I feel refreshed for the upcoming week where I will hopefully finish the first draft I've been working on since November.

Originally the plan was to attempt 4-7 hours of prep a week by working brainstorming, plotting, researching, etc for an hour a day.  Next week I am going to intentionally try to write several days in a row and then do several intense prepping sessions.  Now that I have a revised plan to accomplish my original goals, I am off to Chuck E. Cheese.
