Hi Lauren,

Wowza! That is very detailed and specific, exactly the way your goals should look like.

May I make one suggestion? Please use the worksheets attached to post your writing goals above your computer before you start writing. Print off the sheets. Write your goals on the worksheets, and then tack them above where you write. That way, you will not only know what you need to do, but you can check off when things are done. That is so inspiring usually. Please find the worksheets attached.

Take care, and I look forward to sprinting with you this evening at 7 pm EST.

~ Irene

Hi Lauren,

I'm sorry you are attending SO many funerals. There are seasons in a person's life that is like that. Take time to do some self-care too. It is essential to recharge your batteries!:love:

I love your goals! They are definitely doable and achievable.
