Jumpstarting Monday

Filed Under Art of Writing 

After spending a weekend doing lots of stuff (include a bunch of nothing), it’s sometimes hard to get back into the swing of things on Mondays. I think I have as much of a problem with it as the kids do. I’m trying to get myself more focussed and back on track more easily come Monday morning. To that end, I’m trying out a website/service called simpleology. It’s a system for learning better time management, and teaches you how to figure out what your goals are, how to break them down into steps, and how to achieve them. I’m on Day Four of the “course”, and I’ve already found it to be a great help.

Time management is if vital importance to me, because I have so much going on and I’m my own boss (more or less). It reminds me about my daily writing goals for the revisions, and when NaNoWriMo starts up on Thursday, it’ll be even more important as I won’t forget the stuff that needs to get done.

Speaking of NaNoWriMo, keep an eye on the word count meter in the column on the right. I’ll be keeping track of my word count there. There will also be word counts for the people I’m in a challenge with. They’ll probably wipe the floor with me, as I’m not aiming to win this year. Too many other things to do.

So, what’s on the slate for today? My short term goal is to complete the rewrite of Chapter 3. I’m ahead of schedule by two pages, IIRC, so that’s good. I won’t slack off, though.

I’d also like to announce that the first book of The Kandris Seal game setting has been released. Please go check it out!
