Well, it’s that time already–mostly because I started the quarterly goal when it was almost at the end of the quarter. Along with only having a couple of weeks before I had to review how I did, I also attend a convention in Australia to meet Melissa Joan Hart. But that’s a different story.
So, how did I do? Well, let’s go through the list:
Outline my basic story script – Well, hey. I did this one. Even got most of the way through the actual script itself. It still needs work, but that’s a resounding success for me. Done.
Eat healthier? – Well, yes and no. I did cut out a bunch more junk food but I still ate more than I would have liked. Overall, I’ll say yes. So I’ll mark this a success.
Get rid of excess DVD’s taking up space? – This I didn’t do. They are stacked and ready, but as to getting rid of them. Well, there still there so this is a big fail. Drat.
Outline ending of ebook short – ok, no. But I’ve been thinking about the ending, does that count? Yeah I didn’t think so either. Fail on this one then.
Make a timeline for new original space story – Hey, I did this one too. It’s in a very basic form still, but I did it. It’s there, and usable. Success.
Put up a chapter of fan fiction – Well, shit. I knew I forgot something there. Uhh, it’s halfway done? Ok, big zero here as well.
Be a better friend – Well, this one is a harder one. Can I answer this myself? According to discussions, I have been. Whether I believe it for myself is another story, but I am always hard on myself–guess it’s the writer in me. I’ll call this a maybe, with a closer yes then.
Write daily – I did not do this. To be honest, and this is not making excuses as I hate myself for not doing it, but this one is actually harder for me. Maybe I should keep it as write more often from now on. But for this quarter, a resounding, zero.
Well, out of those how did I do? 3 out of about 8.. Right, well this quarter was kind of a resounding failure. I’ll put that down to the late start as well as being across at a convention. Wow, what a great start to a quarterly goal list. Well, it can only go up from here right?
So, let’s look at the list for next quarter:
- Eat healthier… Grr. Ok this will probably be on here continually. But it’s worth it, right?
- Get rid of the excess damn DVD’s..
- Finish first draft of ebook short story for editing to start.
- Put a chapter up of fanfiction.
- Finish 3 chapters of original space story. (2 plus prologue)
- Finish the script from previous goal story outline.
- Write more often.
- Read more, and get through reading list. (something every writer should do anyway)
Ok, this is still in an early stages of goal progress. So I’ll leave it at that many for this round. Wish me luck, and let’s see how I get on this time. (I’m hoping for a better quarter)..
That’s it for this post. Happy writing, drawing, or whatever hobby you enjoy.
