May Goals I felt so sloooow last month. I never got a story into the Historical Fiction, Holiday, or Sci-fi contest. Nuts. That last one especially got to me since I've written a story every month since it started. It was my own, personal goal to enter something there, every month. However, it was down to the last minute and while I had an idea for that contest, I couldn't get it down! On the plus side, I won a the Writer's cramp twice. Woohoo! Soooooo... To Do: Write a story for "Invalid Item" Teleport a story into "The Science Fiction Short Story Contest" Create a script for "The Monthly Script Writing Contest" Pick a contest to enter at "The Contest Challenge" Enter a little something at "Invalid Item" Shoot a photo into "WDC Photo Contest" Read and report on 4 books at "52 in 52" Enter "I Write in 2018" once every week. Write something for "Invalid Item" Pick a badge and write at "Merit Badge Projects" — Not running this month. I've also got a NEW contest I started called "Invalid Item" . Every week I throw out a prompt based off of something a person would see in the newspaper. And LJ, Abby Gayle, and I are brewing up a BIG idea for summer...more on that later! Personal Goals: Trying to lose weight. I'm just eating less and trying to get more active without hurting my back more. Goal: Lose 15 pounds by Baby G's first birthday (July!). This is the last month for "official" school and then we'll have 3 months off! This mama is ready for a lesson break! Goal: Make it through the next 20 days without pulling my hair out, screaming, and running like a mad-man down the street! Get the chicken coop torn down. I worked on it some today. Used a screwdriver and dismantled some of the framework that the guys in the family said couldn't be taken down without a sledgehammer. My hands are sore but it's getting done!! Goal: Have the coop down and out by the end of May. Let's see how this month turns out! Ready...set...GO! |
