Outlined to Death
Remember those writing goals? Well, yeah. It's been over 4 weeks and I wish I had more to report. See, that is the thing with reporting to the world your goals. Your held accountable. To which, I can now report I am (still) behind. But at least the outline is done!
Yes, numero uno on my list is finally complete. Sure I set a 2 week goal (meaning Nov. 16) and I am... ummm...more than a few days (weeks) late--and was hoping for a one week completion date. I would have been ahead of schedule. A nice little trick I learned from Corporate America. Set expectations that are very doable and then beat the expectation to look fan-tabulous.
Well, okay. It doesn't always work that way. And it really doesn't matter with this book, since I'd only be impressing myself. But hey, it was a goal. What is a girl to do? Anyway, at least I am still somewhat on track. And with Thanksgiving and my start back at work this week. Well, I'll need all the positive thinking I can muster. The end of the year is approaching and I have the first half of the book to complete.
