Goals and A Lot on the To Do List

Posted on July 6, 2011 at 10:34 PM

Except on the days when I kickbox, my exercise goal has fallen by the wayside. Not good. I was reading today about yoga. I know how to do it. I took a semester of yoga classes years ago, so I may try that at home.

The writing goal has suffered with 100 or 200 words, but today we're back at 1000 words. I find when you have too much on the to do list. Life just knocks the wind out of you for a while. Right now, the kitties are playing and I'm writing a little more before I go to bed.

My hero and heroine are in the bathtub. They're so much fun.

I'm in a lot of contests too. This website is part of the Night Owl Reviews Web Scavenger Hunt. See their graphic in the sidebar of the homepage and visit their site to see how to play.

On the Nights of Passion blog (see link on horizontal menu), I'm part of the Skyrockets in Flight Blog Hop Giveaway. You must go to that page on Nights of Passion to enter. Be sure to read the directions there.

I'm also packing giveaways for the Authors After Dark Convention in Philadelphia in August. I will be raffling off a basket of goodies for charity. I'm putting together a prize for the banner scavenger hunt there. I will also have on me multiple things to give away. So if you're going to Authors After Dark, be sure to say hi.

I'm so behind in putting my costume together. Oh, well. I'm back to my characters. Where did I leave them? Oh, yes, fooling around in the bathtub. I tell you I can't leave them for a second without they ... LOL

Goals: Helping Others

Posted on July 13, 2011 at 10:11 PM

Okay, I've not been great on goals one or two lately. I did go walking on Sunday, kickboxing yesterday, nothing today. Not good. I wrote 1000 words on Sunday, 500 on Monday, none so far on the novel today. Not good. I've been guest blogging on FF & P http://ffnp.blogspot.com/2011/07/look-deep-into-soul-of-your-character.html and setting up for an online workshop on blogging for Savvy Writers.

I did do something fun and unexpected for me. I made a video of my Thursday blog article on Nights of Passion. It's about book trailers, marketing, synching files, and online storage. I don't feel very photogentic but decided "I don't care" and went ahead and made it because I felt saying it would in this case be more important than writing it. So I'm on You Tube and Nights of Passion. But go to Nights of Passion (see link on horizontal menu above). It was all the links of the book and programs I mention. I'll be writing again soon. My goal is to get back on the novel. 8000 words left on the novel. --Susan
