A to Z Blogging Challenge: G is for...


Oh, my gosh. Is this blogging week over yet? Kidding!

Okay. Half kidding.

Anyhew...the fact that I'm scrambling to finish my WIP this month has made me focus on a very important G word.

Therefore, G is for: Goals!!

If you were with me in the beginning of the year, I blogged about my goals (NOT resolutions) but GOALS for the new year.
So let's take a stroll down memory lane all those... three and a half months ago and recap:

My PERSONAL GOAL: This year I took my exercise regime to a whole new level. The hubby and I started doing the P90X workout program at the start of the new year.

Where am I now with that goal? Well, I'm exactly TWO days from finishing the program. Then I'll be a P90 grad. And I'll arm wrestle anyone to prove it! LOL

My PROFESSIONAL GOAL: More D for discipline to get more writing done. Thus, I started the Book In 3 Months writing challenge in Feb. for a new story I'm plotting. My other goal was finish my manuscript Kissing Kendall. Both books I plan to have done and submitted by the end of the year.

Where am I with that? Well, I'm still in the Book in Three Month challenge, hoping to finish Kissing Kendall by the end of this month. Eeep. The other story I was working on I had to stop because of plot problems. But as soon as KK is done, I'll set it aside before editing, and try to work out what I did wrong with the other story. I still plan to finish both and have them submitted before the end of the year. Woot!

I LOVE goals. Have you noticed? :)
I love writing them down and seeing them before me to keep me focused. (I especially love when I reach those goals, but sometimes it doesn't happen) That's okay. Either way, I'm happy to just have the desire to dream.

How about you? Have you achieved any of your goals you've set so far?

Valerie Ormond Jennifer,
Loved this post, particularly "Either way, I'm happy to just have the desire to dream." I read a post by Laura Bowers in January that spoke of goals too, and of their importance, but also in forgiving youself if you fail to meet exactly what you strived to do. Goals are good, no question, but it's also good ro realize when goals need to be adjusted due to life circumstances. Good luck with continuing to reach your goals! Valerie Ormond
