January Writing Goal Recap

WRITING GOALS
*finish DESK DIVA on positive thinking Yes, with the delightful title of THE TOAD DIET

*print revised RTMM in time for MLK yes

*Annual MLK writing retreat yes, I can't believe it's over for another year. My PHriend Kris drove us through a blizzard coming off Lake Erie for 80 miles. At night. On I-90, where tandem tractor trailers whizzed by us at imprudent and possibly illegal speeds. But it was worth the travel. Another writing PHriend, Gayle, has access to a lovely A-frame house in the woods. It has all the amenities a group of writing women could want . . . except perhaps a dishwasher. It was perfect for us. We didn't want to leave.
*50 pages of RTMM, including 2 purple roses at MLK retreat 45 currently done, including the 2 purple roses at the MLK retreat. I still have the rest of today to finish those last 5 pesky pages
*judge GH entries one a week.

*begin 'self-improvement' program -- MAKE YOUR CREATIVE DREAMS REAL by SARK yes. I'm enjoying some of the books in the 4th Week "Radiant Resources" section. My local public library is an amazing organization. I research the database, make a list of books, then place holds as I'm ready -- all from the comfort of my own sofa & laptop.

*e-mail annual writing goals to agent DEVASTATION. She's retiring.

*writing expenses for taxes ready for the accountant!

*crit on 1/8 and 1/22 the 8th was cancelled due to SNOW. The 22nd was amazing & productive.

*Participate in January BIAW in progress as I type. I still have those FIVE pesky pages before I can type: GOAL MET!

*cost estimates for local RWA Chapter Operating Manual Yes, and the board approved the budget. Now I have to figure out how to do it.

*P&P article for local RWA Chapter January's is done & posted.
MY FEET

*slather cream on feet at least 1ce a week it's been at least once a day. And it makes a real difference.
*polish toes with "Cherries in the Snow" (in photo, toes are wearing "Royal Purple Chrome" nail makeup) See photo in previous post. Of course, now the polish has all worn off because it's winter and socks and shows do that. At least on my toes.


Over all, I would say I had a successful January on the writing front.
