Writer Recharge challenge

[jana_denardo]

Finished my second week for the Writer Recharge challenge
What I accomplished:
WRITE/REVISE – I rewrote Blood Red Roulette chapter five so I met that goal. I have some severe rewriting to do for the next two chapters and after that things should get easier. Next time I say I’m going to turn a 20 year old short story into a novel, someone kick me hard.
I did noodle around with A Wolf in the Fold but only on paper so I guess, in a way that goal was met.

Overall I wrote 2,900 words so it was a good week.
READ/REREAD - I finished Appointment at the Edge of Forever it was pretty good.
Hexed by Kevin Hearne is what I’m reading now (instead of Red Rising which I’m supposed to be reading but am bored to tears by). I’m not sure why I waited so long after the first Iron Druid book to pick up #2 but I love it so far.
STRETCH - Still failing at the cleaning goal. Maybe I need to find a different stretch.
SELF - I went for my PT meeting as was the goal. I’m still not doing as well with this as I should be.
CONNECT - I failed at my connect attempt but it wasn’t my fault. It got snowed out.
FUN I had no fun. :(

Goals for next week.
WRITE/REVISE – In general I want to work on Blood Red Roulette and I’d like to give another shot to fixing my demon short story to send to an anthology. It needs help. For week two, I want to rewrite chapter Six of BRB and work on the short story.
READ/REREAD - I need to read Red Rising which I've been given for review. It's a YA SF dystopia and a best seller. So far I hate it. Boy, I wish I hadn’t gotten this one for review.
STRETCH - At this point cleaning my apartment would be a stretch so yes I’m STILL keeping this as a stretch until it freaking happens

SELF - Get my broken tooth fixed. Yeah I broke my tooth on Valentine’s Day. Go me.

CONNECT - Make it to my local writers' group this week.

FUN Go see my friend's play.

Wish me luck.

2,900 words is great! I haven't met my stretch goals each week, so don't even worry. Maybe think of it as a goal for the month :) And feel free to join in on #writerrecharge Twitter parties if you can't make it to the local group!

Good way of looking at it. I'll have to look for the Twitter parties because I'm pretty sure we're not having a hook up this week either.

Luck! I'm sorry you didn't have the best week, but yay for 2,900 words! And don't worry about cleaning. I always say a clean house is a sign of wasted time. :) Especially when you could be reading or writing instead.
