katemacetakFirst of all: This was my first time doing Row80 and I was terrible about checking in. It's not a habit yet! But I did find it very helpful to read other's check-ins and know that I was being held accountable in some way.
Let's see how I did on my goals:
*Create a new outline and decide how to structure this thing, either as a novel or a collection of short stories. DONE! I have a much clearer picture of where my novel is going.
*Write at least one cohesive chapter/story in this 80 day period. I'll say this is done...I still have to go back and add a couple of things but that is what editing is for.
Fanfiction
*Complete the Night On Fic Mountain challenge (due June 15) and the Every Woman challenge (due June 23). Half-done. I ended up defaulting on Night on Fic Mountain, honestly because I was too caught up in my original writing to work on it. I did complete Every Woman!
*Write at least 5 posts a week for my play-by-post RPG. Done-ish. I tried, but the RPG slowed down a LOT these past few weeks and I wasn't able to do 5 posts. Still giving myself an A for effort.
Overall, the original writing was more important, so I'm not too upset that I didn't entirely complete these goals.
Daily/weekly goals
*Write (as in full-screen word document, won't stop typing even if it's garbage), at least 15 minutes per day.
Okay, technically not done. For the first few weeks, I really struggled with writing every day. Then, I started using the Magic Spreadsheet and have been going strong on that for about 30 days. I am going to continue with the Spreadsheet so that I write at least 250 words every day.
I'm going to be traveling a lot this summer, so I will not be participating in the next round. But, I might return for the round after that! This was so helpful in getting back into writing gear.
