So January has so far been a complete failure on trying to meet my goals.
It is the 23rd, and I just passed 4,000 words this month. I’m intending to pass 80,000 words on Fealty today, which will put me at 5,000 words towards this months goal of 30,000.
The reason? Life happens. The month started with the usual end of Christmas/start of New Year chaos. After that. it was mostly work. I’m an accountant in my ‘day job,’ and January is year end, so work has been sucking out all of my energy and leaving me a hollowed out husk for a lot of the month.
Having re-assessed the situation, I’m setting myself a new goal. I have seven days left in this month, and I’ve only written 4,000 words. If I break 10,000 – get the story to 85,000 words – I will be content with myself given my work situation.
And now I know, for next year, that expecting myself to get huge quantities of personal work done outside of the office is a bad idea in January :-p
Namaste,
Glynn
