Well, Monday flew right by me and I forgot to post, but that’s because I was accomplishing things!
… sort of. I accomplished staying warm (heated mattress pads are your friend), keeping the chickens supplied with water instead of ice, and gasp I actually worked on Catalyst.
- Clean off desk and get it usable. Once done, start working on organizing filing cabinet.
Not started yet, but will be today. - Get at least one-third of the way through Catalyst (Undoing bk 1) revisions.
Started. I had notes from someone who beta-read a hard copy for me, so I’ve been punching them all into the computer. Found a 68-word sentence doing this. Oops. - Outline first five chapters of Catalyst sequel, more if possible, and get character charts in order.
No progress yet. - Finish world map for Undoing and figure out the calendar.
No progress yet.
You can see all the #WriteMotivation participants and their goals on the Roll Call.

Congrats on your progress! *waves pompoms* Good luck; I’m sure you’ll do great this month!

January 7, 2014 - 9:24 pm ·A heated mattress pad sound divine with the cold weather. Although, my hubby is a heater in bed so I’ll settle with using him. 😉
Good start to the month. You can do it! Although, I’d procrastinate on the desk part because cleaning, bleh.

January 8, 2014 - 9:51 am ·Hubby and I both tend to run on the slightly cold side, so we crank up the mattress pad and snuggle together, and everything is perfect! 😀

January 7, 2014 - 9:45 pm ·I think keeping yourself warm and your animals alive is plenty enough for week one. But, look. You’ve done more! *tosses cookie* Good job on your progress thus far! You got this!

January 8, 2014 - 9:08 am ·Just assume that organizing your file cabinet will take about ten times longer than you anticipate.
Because that’s what makes file cabinets evil.
Rebekah Loper
January 8, 2014 - 9:56 am ·It doesn’t help that I haven’t actually filed anything in *gulp* three years.
heylookawriterfellow
January 8, 2014 - 9:57 am ·Um. Then plan for twenty times longer.
Rebekah Loper
January 8, 2014 - 9:59 am ·*melts into a puddle of despair*
heylookawriterfellow
January 8, 2014 - 10:03 am ·No, no. Don’t despair! I’ll check up on you some time in April. 😉

January 10, 2014 - 1:06 am ·i just have to say…68 word sentence? is that a record? Wow.
Rebekah Loper
January 10, 2014 - 8:32 am ·*blushes and hides and whispers* No… no that is not a record. I think my personal best is 90-something words in a sentence.
valerierlawson
January 10, 2014 - 8:54 am ·well that takes its own special talent, doesn’t it?
Rebekah Loper
January 10, 2014 - 9:32 am ·Let’s just say there’s a reason all my stories end up 2-3x the length I think they’ll be before I start.

Good luck for the rest of the month!
