Mid Stream Check in

I didn’t commit to NANO, but I did make writing goals this month (well, for the rest of the year actually.) I just finished the first draft of the next Deepdale Acres book, Pleasure Horse. But it wasn’t without some setbacks.

November is always just a bad month for me. This last week I started my first full week at a new job, I hydroplaned twice on a highway ramp and ended up in a ditch (we think the car is okay & I’m okay), Mini was sick on Wednesday, and my son is sick tonight. This coming week I work 5 days, my son’s IEP and my yearly are happening and there’s Thanksgiving.

I thought 1k would be easier because if I’m relatively focused and I know where I’m going it only takes me about an hour to get 1k in. I’m resisting the urge to be really hard on myself for this last week. Instead I want to do better next. I’m halfway into Last Brother, Last Sister. Tomorrow between appointments and role playing I hope to outline the rest of the book. Then 1k a day until it’s done.

I’m working on my business plan (aka goals) for next year too, which is always a little fun. I can’t believe it’s almost December already.
