Dana's Goals, April 21st-April 27th
I'm gonna have to jam this week 'cause I'm out of town Friday night through Sunday doing a Twilight Tour at the cathouse. Long drive Friday night and Sunday coming back home. Ugh. But I will get to see all the cats!
Anyway, what I have to get done before I go:
1. Post for Cozy Chicks on LLC and meeting Jess Lourey.
2. Post for Killer Hobbies on theater and baking and how they relate to MFH
3. Review August Moon for Mysterious Musings
4. Get my cyber tour schedule up on my website and my blog.
5. Get something posted on my own blog, fer crissake!
6. Start chapter one of BAD RAP and make minor revisions to prologue.
7. Exercise as per usual.
Hey, where are all the links to these blogs??

Dana's GOals, April 14th - 20th - How she did!
Okay, let's make this week a better one than last week! My only real accomplishment last week was finally finishing the third person prologue for BAD RAP (Lilith) and I have to say that was an uphill battle. Too much socializing last week! Not ONE blog post, which is really really bad. I know this, Dani... I know...
So. On to a new week!
1. Exercise as per usual. Modified yoga to accommodate what is most likely tendonitis. Ugh. - Walked several long lovely walks, did yoga at home two evenings, did the TRX exercises I could do and some assorted abs/waist exercises. I also ate very well: Fruit only before noon, tons of water, lots of fresh veggies and no proteins and starches in the same meal. I'm doing this for a couple of weeks with a friend of mine.
2. Answer interview questions for Jess's blog post on Murder Ink's blogsite for mystery authors. Da da Done!
3. Come up with interview questions for Jess. Also done!
4. Ask Mr. Fabulous if he'll help me pimp the tour and have Jess's interview on Pointless Drivel. And another one bites the dust.
5. Three blog posts -Technically yes, even though two of them were not for my blog. They're for the cyber tour Jess and I are doing. I'm still behind on posting on my own blog.
6. Work on BAD RAP. A little bit, but not nearly as much as I'd like. This publicity and marketing stuff is a time sucker.
7. Help Dave finish his taxes (that's tonight, Monday). Done and done!
That's enough for one week. We have ONE social engagement Friday night and otherwise, it's straight home to work!

Early goals
Hi y'all,
I'm still mostly out-of-town and wrapped up with installing the mural from hell in an orthodox church. My goal next week is to document that project to date on a new blog. Also, to set up a gardening blog to go with a new Yahoo! group I created called Localvores of Colorado. And then hubbo and I are taking two months to write.... only write. We'll see if we accomplish anything. Here's a peek at the mural. This should turn into a mural painting book, too, for young American art students willing to do liturgical work:
That's me standing in the doorway and I'm 5'10" slouching, so you can see the scale of this thing, which we call the mural from hell. Well, it's The Last Judgment and only the bottom 1/3 is actually hell. Curious to me that we're installing this monster and major wildfires break out just south of town at Ft. Carson. Dick Cheney must have been in for a visit. Ooops. Who said that?

See the smoke billowing out from behind Cheyenne Mountain? About 15 square miles burned overnight.
What's everybody else doing? Are Dana (or Zhadi as she's known all over Planet Virtual!) and I the only ones with any writing goals? Ann, are you back at it again? Wanna join us?

Dana's Goals for April 8th-15th
Okay, I have made a decision. I am NOT going to participate in Script Frenzy this time around. I have two books I want/need to work on and while yes, I want to write the script, at this point in time it's just a diversion from working on the books. I've decided I'll work on it the days I burn out on the books, but dagnabbit, I'm going to focus! So. Goals.
Three posts this week.
5 completed pages on BAD RAP
Exercise.
I've got a corporate dinner Monday night and my sister's coming into town for the weekend, hence I'm not going overboard on the goals. but i want to complete the ones I've got.
I have spoken!

Dana's Goals, April 1st - 6th
And Happy April Fool's Day, all!
I have, perhaps foolishly, signed up for ScriptFrenzy 2008. So that's 100 pages in 30 days. I have written a script in less time, so it may or may not present a challenge. Considering the speed of my writing lately, I suspect it will be harder than I want it to be. But excellent practice!
I also have my WIP BAD RAP (or Lilith, as I also call it) to work on. And my blog to keep up on. I'm in the middle of Part III of my LCC 2008 post series.
So... here are my goals for the week:
1. 4 pages of script per day (Em...not so much. 2 pages per day, but I didn't get any writing done three days in a row because of social things at night and yesterday.
2. 1 page of BAD RAP per day (see above. I did work on it, but no page count to speak of)
3. 3 posts this week (yay for me, I did it! )
And I still have today (Sunday) to get some writing done.
Exercise is not optional - I will be walking, TRX'ing or yoga-ing every day unless ill. On days I don't walk to work, I'll be taking my ALpha with me on the Muni to facilitate the blog posts. I've been doing most of my blog writing that way for the last week and it's working well.
I did walk, i did yoga, but no TRX 'cause my elbow is well and truly screwed up. But lots of walking and one very good yoga class.
Stay tuned for my success rate! Hah!

Dani's Goals April 1-6
I signed up for Script Frenzy, too. I have never written a script and don't have a clue what I'm doing! But, what the hey. Couldn't one take a script later and revise it into a novel?
One blog post a day for me, even if it's just my personal journal blog.
Gotta keep reading three books a week for future blog book tours. Who knew this would take so much time? Have a good interview about cyberschmoozing at Blog Book Tours right now. Go see.
And exercise.... I have zippo energy after more than two weeks with this wretched head cold. Still hacking away, but if it warms up, I'll try to walk some this week. We had snow yesterday during which time the power went out for several hours, and of course, I was online and I crashed big-time! So computer issues may continue... don't know.
Hey everybody, go look at your April horoscopes at Astrology Zone! Just to see how bad it's really going to be. Snort!
