MilWordY: Week 11 Update

I took a break and didn't write at all this week.

Looking Ahead at Week 12

I am pretty burnt out so I think I will be taking another break.

MilWordY: Week 9 Update

An attempt was made! I feel like I did good even though there was a lot of stuff I didn't get done. Anyways, here's how that went:

Writing Goals:
- Write Every Day - 7/7 - 100% (check!)
- Write 3.5k/Day for 5 Days - 1/5 - 20%

And I did get a bit of work done on book reports and spring fever claims, so that wasn't a total bust, it just doesn't show in the numbers because I didn't actually finish anything. So overall, pretty good. Probably my best week yet.

Looking Ahead at Week 10

Ugh. Can't believe we're already ten weeks into 2024... I am super behind in MilWordY, I'm going to have to ramp up my word count before my daily par gets too high to manage... Anyways, here's my goals for week 10. Hoping to hit all of them this time!

MilWordY: Week 5 Update

Alright, so Week 5 wasn't perfect, but it was the best one yet. I wrote more this week than I have all year, so I blame my slump on January.

So I accomplished some things but still managed to not hit a single goal. One other thing I did this week was make a Trello Board to manage my weekly goals because otherwise my little brain can't handle everything I have on my plate.

Here were this week's goals and how I did!

Here are my goals for Week 6:

Alright, MilWordY catch up time, let's go!

MildWordY: Week 3 Update

Another bad week for writing... yikes. My goals this week were:
- Write every day
- Write 20k words
- Catch up on book write-ups

Instead, I:
- Only wrote 5/7 days this week
- Only wrote 1145/20000 words
- Did not catch up on book write-ups (but I did finally finish one!)

Hopefully I can start amping it up this week. If I want to actually hit a million words this year I have to get myself out of this funk.

MilWordY: Week 1 Update

Well, I'm off to a bad start. My goals this week were to:
- Write at least 18k words
- Do write ups for all the books I finished reading this week
- Finish and send in a zine submission

Instead I:
- Only wrote 2252/18000 words
- Wrote 0.5/3 book write ups
- Dropped out of the zine entirely

So not a fantastic start. But hopefully this week will be better (it is almost 11pm and I have not written anything yet though so... yikes). Anyways, hopefully I have a better report next Sunday!
