#WriteMotivation – Now it starts to get fun…
Edit: This is evidently my 400th blog post! *throws confetti*
It’s been a week, and now I just need to survive the next one too. The family is in town, and things are going well so far, though there have been a few tense moments with the other issues going on. Just keep praying for strength for all of us, please!
And please ignore any typos. I can’t write straight today.
July #WriteMotivation Goals:
1. Crit Cloudy for Eris.
I have not started on this yet. I likely will do this after Mom is out-of-town, because I’ve heard it’s HILARIOUS, and I’m going to need something to make me laugh while Mom is gone.
2. Catalyst re-write for Camp NaNo.
Doing well on this one so far, averaging about an hour a day on edits/re-writes. Hoping to start working up to 2-3 hours a day.
3. Read A Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss.
Hm, yeah, haven’t even picked this up yet. Will hopefully work on this today.
4. Survive the uncle & family coming to visit, and MOM GOING OUT OF TOWN FOR A WEEK. The goal is literally DO NOT DIE OR HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.
In progress.
seems like everything is doable!! still thinking and praying for you and your family!
Thanks, Jamie!
Yay for your 400th post! You and your family are in my thoughts and will stay there. Huge hugs! Keep up the motivation, you can do it!
Thanks! I can’t believe I’ve done that many posts, lol.
And thank you for the thoughts *hugs*.
In a week, I will be right there with you. Mom is coming and then the in-laws. You can do it! And if nothing else, it will all be here when you get back.
Thanks, Heather! Yeah, it will all still be here… sometimes that’s the frustrating part, lol. Because it’s there but I might not be able to work on it. Oh well!
I am assuming that the familial source of your stress does not read your blog? Here’s hoping.
Congrats on the big 4-0-0! Wow! Here’s to many many more!
The majority of them do not, Mike, which I am very grateful for sometimes! I know my mom reads sometimes, and my sister is subscribed to it, but they’re the two who will understand my frustrations. No one else has said anything about ever reading my blog.
And thank you! I’ll probably hit 500 posts by the end of the year, because NaNoWriMo is still ahead of us, and that’s 30 posts right there with my daily updates.
Your work ethic never fails to astound me.
… I guess that’s a good thing? I feel like I can never do enough, honestly. Sometimes I need to learn how to slow down.
It’s good if you’re not overwhelmed.
Have you not read my post on overpromising? For SHAME!

Congrats of 400! That is amazing! 🙂
