Tim's Milestone #1

It’s Monday. Well, almost. And if that weren’t bad enough, I haven’t yet my goal of 7 hours this past week.

I had wanted to put down a specific number of pages to get written each week, but my fellow scribes and scribblers don’t want me to get discouraged if I don’t meet that goal in a given week. So we brainstormed and decided that an hourly goal would be better, given my current state of busyness.

No problem, I thought with glee, now I can go back and revise without having to have a production quota hanging over my head! Woo hoo!

Unfortunately, my glee was short-lived, as one particularly informed scribe told of my bad revising habits to the others and now I can’t even go back to revise what’s already been done.

[Sigh.]

Of course, this is why I’m a part of a group like this. They’re helping me avoid the pitfalls I find myself so often trying to climb out of! Just one of the many reasons I’m so grateful we’re uniting our efforts for the greater good!

Here’s a quote I’m striving to make my mantra, my motto, my mojo:

“He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.”~ Victor Hugo
