Dateline 1 March 2020
A new month, time to set and post new goals. As I sit here in my living room, typing this, with The Sorcerer’s Stone on the tv, I’m still recovering from my cold. I have two appointments this week and four the next. Spring will be upon us and I have lots of yard work to do. Yet, I need to push myself and set aggressive goals. Here they are.
- Blog twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.
- Make significant progress on The Teachings, my novel-in-progress. I need to make this measurable, so I’ll set 20,000 words to be added this month. That means, at the close of March 31st, I should be at 32, 122 or better.
- Make a final decision on what Bible study to work on this year.
- Attend three writing group meetings this month, two for Scribblers & Scribes of Bella Vista and one for Village Lake Writers & Poets.
- Spend a little time going through the genealogy book I started over two years ago. My goal is to make a judgment of how much work would be involved and whether I could publish it this year. I haven’t talked much about this on the blog. I’ll have to do a post or two on it.
- Republish the two stories in the Sharon Williams Fonseca series I didn’t get done last month, to add my current list of published works (and correct any typos I might find).
- Continue reading for research in the next Documenting America book. This will include searching for available documents. I have a few already chosen, but more are needed. This month I may be searching for documents more than reading them.
That seems like a good amount of goals. As always, I might modify them as the month unfolds.
