April Progress, May Goals

Writing this on May 3 for posting on May 6. Lots done last month, ambitious goals for this month.

  • More work on those pesky research notes for the church Centennial book. I don’t know that I’ll worry about whether I finish it or not. Another hour or two will result in being close to done. I did what I said I would. Spent some time on it. It’s not done, but it’s further along.
  • Continue inching along with There’s No Such Thing As Time Travel. Not much for me to do but work with the cover creator and do a little more editing, by myself and with the critique group. And, inching along it continues. I made another editing pass, heard back a little from beta readers, and the cover artist/creator made significant progress. I think it will be published in May. I hope it will.
  • Work on the two Bible studies hand-in-hand. I anticipate finishing the “guts” of the one for this year, on Gethsemane and Arrest. The one on the Last Supper I don’t expect to finish, but who knows? I’m actually ahead of where I expected to be by this time, so maybe I can get the “guts” of it done too. I did finish the one on Gethsemane and Arrest. I also made significant progress on the other, but nowhere near finishing.
  • Attend writers groups.  Three will be in-person, and three on-line.  Done. Missed two due to the heart diagnostic procedure.
  • Blog twice a week, Mondays and Fridays. Done, with a little help from writing ahead and scheduling the posts.
  • Continue work on the “Available Works” part of my web site. Based on how much I have done, I ought to be able to do this. I’m not quite sure what I had in mind when I made this a goal. I was able to do more work on that section of my website, though it’s not quite done. Something for next month, I suppose.
  • One irregular item: Work on and finish the presentation I’m scheduled to make to the Northwest Arkansas Letter Writers Society on May 10. I have what I want to say planned out, have begun writing it, and have pulled together some graphics for a power point presentation. I worked on this but did not finish it. That may be my main work for the next week.

As for May goals, I’m not sure it will be a very productive month, but will set ambitious goals.

  • Finish preparing for my presentation to the NW Arkansas Letter Writers Society at the May 10 meeting. I would say that as of the date of this writing (May 3), I’m 50% done with prep work.
  • Complete all tasks and publish There’s No Such Thing As Time Travel. Very do-able, I think.
  • Attend writers meetings. There will be 5 or 6 this month, two in person and three or four on-line.
  • Make good progress on the second Bible study while I wait to hear from my beta reader on the first.
  • Finish those website updates. I think I have less than 30 minutes of work on this.
  • Complete work on the Centennial research notes. I think this will be another 2 or possibly 3 hours of work.
  • As always, blog twice a week, on Monday and Friday.
