ROW80 – Round Three Goals

July 1, 2013 by Lauralynn Elliott

I’ve thought and thought about what I want my writing goal to be. I don’t want to set a goal that I’m not likely to achieve, but I also don’t want to make it too easy. There has to be some challenge. Although, last round, writing at all was a challenge. So here is my writing goal. I know I can change it if I have to, but for right now…my goal is to write at MINIMUM three days a week for one hour. Those three days don’t have to be any particular days, just three days sometime in the week. And then we’ll see if I need to change that later.

I want to continue my healthier lifestyle. I don’t set weight goals, because our bodies don’t always cooperate, even when we’re doing the best we can. But I want to continue to work out with weights four days a week and walk on the treadmill 15 minutes in the mornings and 45 minutes or more in the evenings.

There is an announcement I need to make today, but I wasn’t sure it was appropriate on my goals post. However, I don’t particularly like to post twice in one day, so I’ll be brief. Smashwords is having a sale in the month of July, so some of my books there are free and some are half-price. HERE is my profile page and you can find my books from there. The coupon code to use is listed at the top right of each book page.

I think you’ve set some very sensible goals for yourself. Good luck with the coming round!

Sounds like you have a good plan, for both writing and weight loss. I hope both go smoothly!

It’s very inspiring to me to hear a published author setting minimal goals – I need to learn that I don’t have to rush around like a chicken with its head cut off!

  Hi Deniz. Sometimes when you try to do too much, you end up going in circles and not doing anything. LOL
