I'm planning to use the time I had to devote to this commitment, to my writing. My goal is to finish my book by the end of November. <BR/><BR/>It's a tall order, but I'm shooting for it. Someone once told me, "Reach for the moon and you'll land amongst the stars." Not a bad place to be.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Esri, we had fun in San Fran figuring out our clothes, fixing predicaments and admiring our good taste. ;-)Prisakisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909271289337919937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-63189126585425060192008-10-21T12:51:00.000-05:002008-10-21T12:51:00.000-05:00You can do it, Louisa!

My plan is to have it finished by November 17th and in the mail by November 25th. Gee, that means I only have to churn out @ 7 pages a day EVERY day!

It means I'm getting good work done. <BR/><BR/>It's pretty bad right now. :D<BR/><BR/>I'm working on developing new characters, which is unmitigated fun. So I'm doing reasonably well at mixing work and play right now.

I check my e-mail first, then write. I've gotta stop doing that. Starting tomorrow (because I already checked my e-mail today), I will write five pages before checking e-mail or the blog, etc.. Really, I will! I'm revising one book, but really would like to be adding new pages to another I'm working on.Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-33910716576108735072008-10-21T09:19:00.000-05:002008-10-21T09:19:00.000-05:00Congrats, Trish!

It wasn't for the GH, but I recently had revisions to do (were due yesterday), so until I turned those in I did what you suggested and let other things go.

But then again, haven't I wasted 50 bucks on other things that weren't as important to my writing career?<BR/><BR/>Like you said, the worst thing that could happen is that I'm out the money. But on the bright side, I'm sure to have a lot more pages written then I do now.<BR/><BR/>I've used your system of breaking everything down into increments before. Maybe it's time I try it in connection with my GH entry.<BR/><BR/>I'll let you know how it goes.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else have any tips or questions on managing time and getting work done?<BR/><BR/>As for me, today I'm gonna have fun picturing my GH dress for next year. :-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>PrisPrisakisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909271289337919937noreply@blogger.com
