We are not going to do the weekly challenges, but I do want to do weekly goals yet, so what goals do you have for this week? I'll allow non-writing goals as well.

Writing: Just get in thirty minutes of writing this week, despite how insanely busy it is
Personal: Get started on two drawings (which have to be done in a week and a half :shock: )

Main goal is to keep up with school things and start establishing a regular routine.

Maybe do another character design for the pulpy spy ring.

Fun! Let's see...
Personal goal: stay healthy and sane for the rest of the week. (Halfway through 7 concerts in 10 days :shock:)
Writing goal: Finish breaking my outline down into Scrivener scenes. This goal can't supersede the above goal, but I'm still hoping to get some good work in, and maybe even get some scenes written as well!

Tuned on the Luthier's Workbench - Second draft [current focus]
Out of the Twilight - Conceptualized, semi-outlined
And there are many more in line... Apparently I need to get busy... :rofl:

One more day to finish our weekly goals! :0 How is everyone doing?

I was down to 852 more words to transfer from my outline, but about 2000 jumped back into the outline after syncing Scrivener yesterday. I shall conquer it yet! Thanks AuthorFaith for the boost of motivation this thread provides!

Goal #2 is completed! The concerts are over, and I am both healthy (although a bit worn) and sane! Well, I guess that could depend on your definition of sane... ;)

At a few minutes before 11:19pm, a burst of great exultation filled the authoress at her keyboard. Her finger hovered over the delete key, and then... her outline was no more, or rather, was now a list of scrivener scenes complete with descriptions and snippets. (Don`t worry, I did save my original outline in case I need it!)

Weekly goal #1 complete! :dies happy: If there a smiley for setting off fireworks, or being about to burst with happiness, I'd use it now...

I did not meet my writing goal. :(

My wake-up time was not perfect, but I'm definitely making progress.

Also, I didn't write it down, but I did meet my soda goal. (I'm kicking the habit.) So that was a success this week. :D

Congratulations on getting closer to your sleep goal! (I probably need to work on that this week...)

And I have to say, when I first read you had met your soda goal I envisioned a line of emptied soda bottles... and an author full of caffeine and sugar... It was rather a scary thought! :rofl:

I'm gonna be fully honest, I didn't meet either my writing or my personal goal... I did, however, go on a trip with my youth group where I drew way closer to the Lord and depend my friendships with my youth group, which was amazing. I also realized I overcommit, so I've decided the two drawings I wanted to start this week are something I'm no longer going to work on. For one simple reason: I don't have time, and that's okay. I also realized this: it's better to focus on my relationship with the Lord than to cram in writing or drawing or whatever else rather than skipping my Bible reading. So yeah, I may not have completed my goals, but guess what? I did something way more important; I grew as a person. So I'd say this week was still a success :)

Who says I'm NOT an author full of caffeine and sugar? I don't need soda to accomplish that... :dieshappy:
