Things have been going along smoothly, but I’ve suddenly found myself with three proofreading jobs coming up (already working on one). I always sort of have a dilemma with this as pertains to my actual writing, but I have to look at my client jobs first because that brings in more money that my writing at the moment. That might change someday, but right now I have to be practical. I can easily work on 2-3 proofreading jobs simultaneously (or back to back depending on their deadlines), but to do that AND write is tricky. However, I have a goal of 150,000 words for this year, which averages out to 12,500 per month, and I intend to make that goal. I made the January goal, but fell a little short (by about 1100 words) on February. I can still make that up later. In order to make the goal of 150K, I have to write 411 words per day. I usually write more than that, and I take a couple days a week off. So my plan is to just try to make the 411 (15-30 minutes) a day while I’m proofing for others, then when I have no proofing jobs, I can write more and try to get ahead. That’s the plan right now.
So…my lunch hours and my after work hours will be spent proofreading. I’ll be a busy bee. 🙂 And I’m very thankful for the jobs.

February was a short month. You probably would have reached your goal if it hadn’t been for that. 🙂
I would do the same things you are if I was in your shoes.
Yes! Short month. :). I’m not afraid of hard work, so I’m ready!
That sounds like a good plan for you. Hope you can get all your own words in too.
Thanks, Fallon. I just have to get myself organized. 🙂
Most of the time, the thing I love about multiple projects is that the momentum really feeds into all of them and keeps the ball rolling. Here’s to keeping that energy up! Sounds like you’re balancing them nicely so far.
I’m trying! I’m still behind on the writing, but that’s because we are having a revival at church this week, so that’s taking up most of my evenings. Wednesday will be the last day for that, and then I can really buckle down. I’m almost halfway through one of the proofing jobs. I’m doing a lot of it during my lunch hour.
Good to hear the proofreading and The Forge are going well.
It needs to do better. LOL
