My goals are the same:
  • 1k/day
  • 10k steps/day
  • 1 post for my_365 project on instagram
In addition, I have hw due (week 3) that I'll post even though it's not finished and just keep working on it here.
And I'm taking a class on the Chunky Method by Allie Pleiter (through RWA Online chapter here) and have some experimenting to do on writing productivity there this week.

I joined RWA Online just for this class but there are a lot of great classes there for free now this year.
I really like having a forum (like this one) rather than most online courses (i.e. Yahoo loop) which is difficult for me to navigate.
I know this kind of forum can be tough to understand too but once you get it down I think it lays out what's been posted more clearly.

Lisa,

I love your goals! I think they are doable.

You are quite busy with self-improvement too! That is wonderful!

I love your personal goals too!:) I find the 10K steps hard. But I am at 7K now....moving forward I guess!(y)

I had no idea that some of the RWA online courses are free. GREAT to know!

Have a GREAT week!

Hi Caren,

I love your goals! Are you doing the mini-challenge? It may be a great idea to just try to write even 50 words a day every day for a while to get yourself in the groove. I really love the mini-challenge that I am participating in, and I am getting gags of writing done in small 200 to 300 word chunks.

Other than that, you are doing GREAT on your writing goals!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Just saw this thread. So my goals for this week and maybe next week is to figure out how to navigate this forum and find all the assignments.

not very exciting, I know, but I have high hopes for a big payoff in the end.

HAHAHAHA!
