Progress Report: Week 3, March 2014

This week, I realised I had to step up my study in order to do more than ‘okay’—well, gee, who’da thunk? As a result, my writing has suffered. I know, check out the word count, but remember I had a long weekend last week, so I got a whole day extra. When you look at it that way, it’s not so much extra. I also slept more than wrote on the bus, so I’m a bit behind in my daily flash fiction and poetry. On the upside, however, I finished of a 60,000 words novel, made progress on two anthologies *and* had a new idea I’m pretty excited about. I also passed three mini-tests, handed in a 500-word assignment and started prepping an in-class assessment. I’m starting to realize I’m not slack, just very, very busy. And that word count? It doesn’t include the words I use in bloggery, so I guess it’s not so shabby, after all.
