#ROW80 Check-in 4/13/14

This is my first official check-in since I just started on Wednesday. I'm off to an okay start. Hopefully this week will go better.

My goals were listed as this:

1. Write at least 300 words a day, at least 5 times a week.
2. Read everyday, at least 1 chapter.
3. Work on my time management.
4. Check-in twice a week with a blog post.

My progress went like this:

1. I wrote three out of the five days, totaling about 802 words. Meh.
2. I read everyday. I started reading CHASING BROOKLYN by Lisa Schroeder. It's a 412 page novel in verse and I've almost finished it. That's pretty good for me. I'm a slow reader. Yay!
3. I'm trying to work on my time management, but I haven't been able to fit it into my schedule. Oops.
4. I remembered to check-in. Yay!

For this week, how about I try this:

1. Write at least 1,500 words
2. Keep reading everyday. At least one chapter.
3. Work on time management. Though I'll have extra obstacles this week. Two teens home on spring break.
4. Check-in twice a week with a blog post. And try to make it a little more interesting.

See ya Wednesday!

Goals for ROW80

A Round of Words in 80 Days is the writing challenge that knows you have a life. It's a group of writers who make realistic, measurable goals and support each other. They have check-ins twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.

This round started on April 7th, but I just learned about it. So I'm jumping in late. You can too! You can find more information here.

Since I'm not very good at routines or setting attainable goals, I'm going to start out #ROW80 with a few simple goals. I'll see how the first week goes and try to bump it up a little for next week.

1. Write at least 300 words a day, at least 5 times a week.
2. Read everyday, at least 1 chapter.
3. Work on my time management.
4. Check-in twice a week with a blog post.

Good luck everyone! I look forward to meeting new people and following their successes.
