A Good Day for Goals

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 10:19 PM

Today was a good day for goals. I wrote a thousands word I'm very happy with. I also walked for a half hour. I managed to accomplish my word count and my health goals. Yay! It's really a lift up from yesterday when I wrote a little over 200 words.

For the folks just dropping up, I'm talking about words written. 200-250 words equals a page of a book. It doesn't sound tough to write but writers will tell you that it's tough when you're making it up. 1000 words is about 5 pages. In this day and age, part of a writer's health involves walking away from the computer. In talking to my eye doctor, he advised me to take frequent breaks and even turn away from the computer and focus my eyes elsewhere. So take care of yourself and get your work done. When you're feeling well, you can be more productive. Oh, I better get to bed, the cats are on their nightly rampage and have just run over my body.

Goals Can Take an Odd Turn

Gerri, you're doing a great job. Anyone else want to start posting their goals? Today I kickboxed and did better than yesterday. Goal 2 accomplished. Okay, Goal 1 is in trouble. Last night I fell asleep while trying to write. Tonight I came home from the dojo and started writing for my blogs. Remember I said that blog word count wouldn't count. I've written 2 blogs for Nights of Passion and now I'm here writing. Easily 1000 words between three blog articles. What am I going to do? I'm going to regroup and sign off. The goal is to focus and write 1000 words on my novel before I pass out. Wish me luck!

Is Rain Good for Goals?

Hooray for Gerri! You're doing great. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for your manuscripts. I haven't been doing well on the exercise front with this rain. But I did make my 1000 word mark last night and I've made it again today. I'm trying to do a thousand more words before bed for a total of 2000 words. Let's see if I make it.

There's also pushups and situps and crunches and other small area exercises I can do. Hmm. I will have to try today.

How is everyone else doing?
