Writer Recharge challenge

[jana_denardo]

Finished my third week for the Writer Recharge challenge
What I accomplished:
WRITE/REVISE – I rewrote Blood Red Roulette chapter one which pretty much usurped doing chapter six so I still consider my goal met. I did a chapter And since it was a chapter both my first readers thought was problematic and it was the first chapter I decided that took precedence. AND I did get chapter six done too!

I finished rewriting my demon story A Wolf in the Fold so the goal was met. I’m much happier with this story now.
Overall I wrote 5,400 words so it was a good week. In fact that was nearly my entirely yearly word count up to that point.

READ/REREAD - I finished Hexed by Kevin Hearne and I really enjoyed it. I also finished a lightweight cozy mystery File M for Murder . It was fun, popcorn kind of read and I finally forced myself to finish Red Rising a YA SF dystopia that was both boring and violent. Unless you want to watch teens maim and murder each other to climb up a ridiculously complex caste system, give this a pass.

STRETCH - I kinda cleaned a few things so I’m calling the cleaning stretch done.
SELF - I saw the dentist. He put on a temp cap. It fell off. I’m having better luck with the otc temporary caps. I see him again for another temp cap on Wednesday but I can’t get in for the crown until March 9th. I am not amused.
CONNECT - I failed at my connect attempt but it wasn’t my fault. It got snowed out. Yep same thing I posted last week and I totally forgot to look for the twitter chat. I rock.
FUN I worked 90 minutes all last week thanks to weather. That was FUN. I watched so much Tv and wrote. I didn’t get to the play because it was snowed out.

Goals for next week.
WRITE/REVISE – In general I want to work on Blood Red Roulette but specifically, I want to rewrite chapter seven of BRB and maybe even get to chapter eight.

READ/REREAD - I’m reading Geist by Phillipa Ballantine so far sort of a fantasy/steampunk mash up.
STRETCH - Submitting a story to someone other than my usual publisher.

SELF - Back to being more diligent with my physical therapy.

CONNECT - Get a rough draft out to my first readers. That’s a connection.

FUN Some have accused me of finding my students’ suffering on a test fun. I’ll put that to the test this week. But seriously, I have no idea what I’ll do for fun other than watch some TV. It’s still pretty snowy out there.

Wish me luck.
