Update: Not according to plan... at all(2025.04.11)
by Tobber Author IconMail Icon
As the title suggest, this week did not go according to plan. I got hit by the flu... once again, and then it was suddenly time to pack for the Easter holiday and everything writing related sort of got thrown away for a while.

Writing Goals

*Box* Write every day: Nope. For the first in months, I missed his one. I was very annoyed with this (which is partly why I'm only doing the update now), but I'm starting to accept that the "for the first in months" part means I should probably be okay with this. I mean, that's a pretty good habit I have going, and now I just have to get back into it after the vacation.

*Box* / *BoxCheck* Write something for Stupefying Stories: Hmm... Yeah, well, sort of. I got started on something. Still have to complete it and edit it though, and even then, I'm not sure it's a good fit.

*Box* Do reading/analysis exercises for my DIY MFA-thingy: Nope. Missed out once again.

*BoxCheck* Do a WYRM review: At least I got this done early in the week before the flu hit me.

*Box* / *BoxCheck* Read short stories: Again, not quite. But I got around to reading one before I got sick, and should count for something.

Writing Related (sort of) Goals

*BoxCheck* Get exercise: Yes, surprisingly. It got off to a good start early in the week, and once the worst of the flu and the packing was done, I got right back into it. I had not expected that, but I'm really happy, because I had opped the bar for this one compared to previous weeks.

*BoxCheck* Eat healthy: Another success. I think it was the extra exercise that helped, made me more motivated not to snack, because normally I would eat way too many snacks when being home sick.

*BoxCheck* Be active on Codex: This is one place where being sick actually helped. I did have the energy to check the forums, and suddenly I also had the time to participate in the weekly lunch.

*Box* Do vocal exercises: Nope. Definitely not with a sore throat.
