 A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me. |
|
My mind and my life are wonderous things ... as are yours, I'm sure. I have more slips of paper and pages of notebooks with musings and thoughts than I really know what to do with. Someone, actually several someones, have suggested I start a blog ... or a journal as a means of focusing some of this mental energy. To be honest, I don't even know what the difference between a 'journal' and 'blog' is--or if there even is a difference. Read on, my friends, and you can judge for yourself whether it even matters. And so....  I'm JACE. Yep ... that's me! And somewhere in all my writings my last name may be posted. But I'll just leave it at Jace for right now. I'm 70 years old and heading full tilt to 71. It's strange that while I'm going through some rather serious medical issues, I still consider myself to be in the prime of my life--pretty good shape physically AND mentally, though I don't run for competition anymore  . I love to ... dang, if I put this stuff here, I won't have anything for my blog.Guess you just have to be patient until such stuff leaks out.  Perhaps 2025, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts. Well, one can hope.... |
| How do you track your achievements in this field of writing? Perhaps a better question is do you track them? We all know if you want to achieve a 'thing,' you must have goals to help you. A task is not met in one step; it takes a series of small steps to reach that 'thing.' Some members track their steps/goals/achievements in a Static Item; others use their Notepad. Still others use a spreadsheet to track their progress. It doesn't matter how you do it, but I submit you should do it. You can just sit back and take life as it happens, without regard for what you might accomplish in your life. That's stagnation. Moving forward is what makes life worth living. Your calling in life might be your vocation. If that's the case, congratulations. For the past 33-plus years, my vocation was my calling. And I enjoyed every minute. Now, I'm retired and have chosen writing as one of my fields of endeavor. I have a number of projects (both writing and non-writing) I'd like to complete, and tracking my progress ensures I'm moving forward with each project. I use both a Static Item and my Notepad to track my progress. Actually, the real reason I began this post was to remind myself I need to update my own tracking. There always seems to be something else that needs my attention. But, since I'm a profound procrastinator (and I know that all too well), I need to kick myself into gear. My goal next week is to update my 2025 writing tracking with goals I can meet. |
