Flying High
I’m still on a high after participating in such an awesome
author event, Authors in the Park: Spring into Art. There were eleven other
authors in the event held in the Renaissance
Building in Mt.
Dora , Florida . I was able to
get acquainted with some wonderful authors as well as introduce new readers to
my books.
A big highlight was a local book reviewer offered to review
my books. Just check out the video below for all the wordtastic fun we had. If
you’re a Central Florida author you should definitely
look into Authors in the Park sponsored by JLB Creatives and MillerWords.com
you can find them on Facebook at Authors in the Park.
Reaching High
April 1st is the begging of Round 2 for A Roundof Words in 80 Days. This round has some lofty goals considering I signed up for both Camp NaNo
and The Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Both these events start today as well
and If you’re interested sign ups are still open on all three! I’ve also been
diving back into my studies for a degree in Hospitality Management.
I’m going to reach high with all of these goals and other
projects dropped in along the way, but I’m not going to be ridged when things
get shaky. With that many clouds in the sky turbulence is to be expected and
course adjustments made along the way. With that in mind here are my goal
lists.
Round 2 Goals
1. Finish the Blogging from A to Z challenge (Made it so
close last year!)
2. Make my 25k word count set for Camp
NaNo (awesome feature setting your
own word count goals this year.) That should give this novel a good kick-start.
3. Complete the above mentioned novel rough draft by the end
of Round
4. Complete 2 classes in school
5. Clean out my bedroom closet. (Goodwill is gonna love me
:)
Goals for Round 2 Week 1
1. Post daily for A to Z
2. Make daily word count of 834 words for Camp
NaNo
3. Take next exam this week for studies.
4. Work 20 minutes at least 3 days this week on the dark
pit closet.
I hope I don’t pull an Icarus and fly too close to the sun
with everything I’ve packed into April. Regardless, I’m heading for high
altitudes thinking about how satisfying it will be crossing bits of this list
off. I did pack my parachute just in case though. :)
What have you packed into your April? How do you handle
lofty goals?
Hello, Elise! You've set some terrific goals and have a great attitude. I always do NaNo in November, but I haven't yet participated in Camp NaNo. Good luck with that and all the rest of your goals!!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Yikes--lofty goals indeed! No way I'd be able to cope--as it is, we'll be on vacation the second half of the month, and keeping up with A-Z will be tough enough then. But you sound like you've got it all under control :) Looking forward to getting to know you during April!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're very busy indeed! Good luck with everything!
