What I have learned about myself since creating last Wednesday’s goals has been illuminating to say the least. I have discovered over the last few days that I need to organize my time a little more wisely. Often when I am not writing I am online chatting in Twitter or Facebook and my time seems to waste away. It is crazy how much time can be eaten up but hanging out. I want to keep better track of my time. Only allow myself so much time to chat on Twitter and Facebook, spend some time cleaning, and spend time with my granddaughters and helping my daughter where I can.
I easily become obsessed with whatever I am focused on and I have definitely been totally focused on writing this week. But... being focused on writing is one thing, adding up words to just be adding words is another. I want to focus more on building my characters, where my plot is going, who really is my antagonist? I am going to keep track of my time this week and see how I can better use time to my advantage; get the things done that I want and need to get done as well as write all that I want to write.
Oh, Oh, Oh, I almost forgot. I did achieve one of my goals from Wednesday! I am writing a guest blog post and will be submitting it this week. Yay!!!
Refined Writing Goals
- My number one goal this week is tracking my time and then organizing it more wisely.
- My second goal is writing with #wordmongering three times a day 30 mins each
- My third goal is at least one hour a day making notes and developing the story - While writing I have discovered that I need to get more clear about what I am writing, give it a little more structure, and give myself more time for making notes for what I am writing, or at least doing some free writing for ideas and discovering where the story really wants to go.
- My fourth goal is once a day doing my Morning Pages on 750words.com (which I am loving) to purge all the words that are cluttering my head.
- My fifth goal is continue finding guest bloggers for my blog as well as offering my services as guest blogger.
- My sixth goal is to continue to put extra effort into writing posts for my Shadow Rhythms blog. I think it is all about timing. I will be continuing to refine my time and the best way to achieve my goals.
Peace,
Morgan

Hi, Morgan. Sounds like you've got your focus worked out well. It's amazing to look through all the ROWers posts and see how we try to work with ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI think Shan is right about you being perfect on her blog. Also, On the ROW80 FB page, Janet posted for guest bloggers on "inspiration and achieving your dreams", which sounds like it might be a fit for you too.
Thanks Eden! I am loving all of the support from other writers. I appreciate you passing on the info about Janet and I will look into it.
