I’ve had a really crappy day today, so apologies if that taints this post at all. While I have managed to be productive for the most part since the last Check-In, I’ve been dealing with a bit of “Imposter Syndrome” lately, which has got me down some. Part of me is worried that I’m … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #9 – January 30, 2019 →

    So, I managed to shake the case of the blues I had last weekend, and seem to have myself back on track for the most part. I did slack off a bit because this was my birthday weekend, so I took a little extra time to celebrate and to deal with the inevitable … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #8 – January 27, 2019 →

Another week, another late update post 🙂 This update is even later than usual; I slacked off a bit because this was my birthday weekend, so I took a little extra time to celebrate and to deal with the inevitable blues that comes with realizing that you’re another year closer to death. In all, it … Continue reading Birthday Weekend – January 27, 2019 →

Following the setback I described in the last Check-In, I’ve worked really hard trying to get myself back on track. I think I’m getting back into the groove at work schedule-wise, but of course, the company has just announced another layoff week in mid-February. At least I’ll have another week of being able to put … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #7 – January 23, 2019 →

  Lost Weekend   This one is a tough one to write. It's been a rough few days as far as my ROW80 goals go; my motivation was de-railed since the last check-in and I haven't managed to bring it back on track. This past week I went back to work after an extended holiday/layoff … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #6 – January 20, 2019 →

Happy Saturday, everyone. For those of you who are still following me on my quest to write a novel, here’s my (late, again) weekly progress break-down. This past week I went back to work after an extended holiday/layoff period. It’s always a tough adjustment going from living like a normal person back to living like … Continue reading January is Blue – January 19, 2019 →

  It's been a hectic day with trying to fit in everything I've had to do so this one will be short. I'm still working on my kitchen cabinet doors, which are coming along, and I'm still working on my ROW80 goals, so I haven't slacked off, but it's been a bit of a struggle … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #5 – January 16, 2019 →

    It’s been another busy few days, and though I’ve managed to work on my ROW80 goals, I haven’t gotten as far with them as I had hoped. A couple of days ago, I was gifted a couple of big items by someone who just wanted them out of her basement. I got them … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #4 – January 13, 2019 →

  So, another late update 🙂 This weekend, my writing got derailed a bit, for reasons I’ll get into further on. This has been my last week of downtime from work (so far), so I was hoping to get a lot more done before I have to go back to work on Monday (Sunday night … Continue reading Bells, Buzzers and Distractions – January 12, 2019 →

It's been a busy week, mostly because I've been trying to finish the cabinet doors for my kitchen. So, how am I doing with my ROW80 goals?  I'm glad you asked. Even though I've been busy with other projects and responsibilities, I've still managed to keep up with my goals.  Here's the breakdown... Goal #1 … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #3 – January 9, 2019 →

  Week 1 of this round of ROW80 has come to an end, so it’s time for a progress update. It’s been a busy week, full of end/beginning of the year celebrations, Dungeons & Dragons marathons, and woodworking. Though I was still off of work this past week, all of the above cut into my … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #2 – January 6, 2019 →

    Ok, another late post, but it was a long, though fun, day. It was a bit of a busy week, as it usually is for me. We spent a quiet New Year’s Eve at home, watching Netflix and then watching the ball drop. We went out last NYE, so we decided to stay … Continue reading More Dragon Slaying – January 5, 2019 →

So, the first Check-In day of this ROW80 challenge has arrived, and it's time for me to post my progress so far. There hasn't been a lot - it's only day two, after all. Goal #1 - Finish My First Draft Since beginning this Challenge, I've written about 2800 more words towards my goal.  I'd … Continue reading ROW80 Check-In #1 – January 2, 2019 →
