GOAL!!
I'm really tired of not getting a steady stream of output as far as my writing, so I've developed my goals for the month of April: 1) Read Great Expectations 2) Write 4 Short Stories (1 per week) 3)Read to week 17 of "Novel in a Year" by Louise Doughty 4)Get to 23,000 words on my novel 5) Read three shorter books -She walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell -Gulliver's Travels by Johnathan Swift -Little Duke by Charlotte Mary Young You wouldn't believe how much I cut each of these down to size, I literally have spaced out how much of each of these I need to do per day into bite sized daily to do lists. For example today I'm plotting a Short story, doing a blog post, reading 20% of She walks in Beauty, and read 5% of Great expectations. Now these big goals aren't looking so tough. I am going to have to pull some don't be lazy pep talks because I've just been so tired working on the weekends but I'll be so happy when I finally get my own computer. If you want exactly how set up my goals then please e-mail me at follow.the.journey.now@gmail.com

Love the entheuisam
My parents have some one over EVERY Sunday. It's not that I don't like the people, it's just when they're over here I'm not allowed to sneak off to my room and write because It's considered rude.
Any way, I listen to Pandora while I write, and for the last four months in a row I've used up my allotted 40 hours of listening time per month. I'm actually thinking of switching to Pandora one just so I don't have to get that dumb message telling me I'm at 38 hours I always get around the 20th of every month.
My friend invited me to go to Oklahoma with her and her family on Tuesday and Wednesday but my parents won't let me go because my work could call me and ask me to come in. While OK would be fun I think I'd rather keep saving up for my computer. I need to think of some sort of budget. I'm thinking 10% tithe then 50% stright to computer fund. I think I'm going to get a mac Book Pro, the 11 inch one. I've read apple's word processor is way better than word but I've never used it before.
If you've got any advice for me, feed back, or just wanna chat shoot me an e-mail at follow.the.journey.now@gmail.com
