Sunday Check-In #ROW80


This round is off to a much better start than the last one, and this week has actually gone pretty well.

Weekly goals:

  • Two book reviews a week. Done, I have also read next weeks books and drafted the reviews. The next book is a long one though so don't expect to be this far ahead next week.
  • Write a minimum of 100 words of new fiction every weekday. I didn't manage this one in terms of writing new fiction as planned, but I have written over this amount on the planning elements of my current WIP - backstory details, characters arcs, plot structure etc
  • 5 blog posts a week. Done
  • Visit and comment on the blogs of at least 5 other #ROW80 participants every week. Done
Monthly goal
  • October - Complete the NaNo Road Map course. Half way there, I turned in assignment two yesterday.
I have another two goals for myself next week as well. After taking doctors orders to do nothing more strenuous than a gentle stroll a little too literally over the past couple of months, my house is in a very sorry state and looks like it belongs to a hoarder. For the same reason, my health and fitness levels are also in a sorry state.

  • Concentrate on one room a day and have a good clear out (I already did the kitchen today, so getting a head start).
  • Exercise at least three times a week and eat more healthily.
How about you? How did you get on this week? Let me know in the comments below, I'd love to hear from you. And remember, if you want to visit others in the #ROW80 blog hop you can use the links below.

  1. Wow Alana, I wish I could read so quickly. I have three reviews landed on my lap, and I'm panicking I'll miss the deadlines. You could probably do that in a few days. *Sigh (feelings of inadequacy). I keep threatening to do a speed read course, but the simple fact is I like to loiter over the words. :)

    You're doing great so far... I do hope next week is as successful. X

    1. Thanks Shah, I'm actually not a fast reader at all I've just done little else for the past week! I need to try and get as far ahead as possible before the NaNoWriMo madness hits next month.

  3. Good thing you got ahead reading-wise, then, if this next book's a long one. You've had a good week.

  4. good start to the round - its a difficult line following doctors orders sometimes as they don't ever specify what enough, gentle, overdo actually equates too:( Take care and all the best for this week:)

    1. Thanks Alberta, I certainly took "do as little as possible" to it's extreme. It was a good excuse at the time but I'm paying for it now.
