Goal Checkup

Elisa started this really weird idea of accountability to our new year resolutions. Say Whaaatttt??


resolutions


So here is my checkup and let’s see how this is going.



Revise interWIRED and query  - I got stuck at the end of January after snagging on a worldbuilding issue. Talk about major pain in the ass. Mentally, I have the story back on track. I’m letting it ruminate a bit more because I take pen to paper.
Write 6 days a week  - Getting there. some days are chore heavy. Some days, I’m applying to jobs like a crazy woman. One week, I was out of the country. But I feel I have a better system in place now. I have my post-job trauma put aside and am able to buckle down and get to work.
Walk or Work Out 6 days a week  - I’m at between 3-4 times a week on the treadmill. Walking was tough given this horrific winter of -30-ness. But I am getting out when it’s not -30 or disastrously icy. I’ve signed up for a 10K run in May. Hopefully I can run it all (except for this one killer hill part) and, if not, I at least have to finish :)
Submit a short story a month  - HAH! Not happening. I’ve leaned more towards developing novel ideas. However, there is a short story in the wild I am waiting to hear back on…
Minimize book and magazine purchases - I have actually done really well on this. I have not bought as many magazines and my book buying has been relatively curbed. I can go to the book store and not come out with 300 books in my arms. Most of the time, i actually leave empty-handed O.o This being said, I am tapped out on holiday giftcards. Most of those went to ebooks *sigh*.

How about you? How have you done up until now on your resolutions?
