okay, I am publicly committing to my goals: 1) finishing revisions on a query letter and proposal and submitting to agents, 2) sending out two new pitches, 3) revising and submitting two essays, and 4) at least 3 focused (no twitter/etc) writing sessions/week. what about you all?
Reg the "how it feels" side of things:
Recording what distracts, what nourishes, and what was pleasurable (the latter two usually overlapping pretty precisely)...
Being forgiving toward what I have time or headspace for, closely linked with acknowledging on a google sheet what I actually have done...
Setting a reading and writing plan prior to each day.
Okay, here goes! Thank you, Nancy, for this opportunity!
--Produce on avg at least 2 pages of journaling, 5 days/week
--2-3 days/week, 2-3 hours of uninterrupted soul time
(Meditating, “doing nothing,” mindful walks in nature, reading, writing, arranging ms, journaling, reviewing journal, note-taking, looking at art, listening to music, poetry exercises, writing new poems, revising.)
--Reach a new and satisfying shape for my ms
--Write 3 new poems or a sequence, or poem-sprouts
Bonus, time allowing: revise and resubmit essay in-progress
