Sunday Check-In - #ROW80 and #NaNoWriMo

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag.

Weekly goals:

  • Two book reviews a week. Done, but again, only because I got ahead in previous weeks. This week I only read one and a half books, but one of those was almost 600 pages so not too bad.
  • 4 blog posts a week. No. I didn't get my weekly inspirations post out on Friday, but then I haven't been very active on Twitter or reading blogs so I didn't have any links to share.
  • Visit and comment on the blogs of at least 5 other #ROW80 participants every week. Another failure, my apologies to all my fellow #ROW80ers. As this is the second week running that I have failed this task, next week I promise to visit a minimum of 15.
  • Exercise at least three times a week and eat more healthily. Only managed one workout and then injured my knee (Not while working out funnily enough). I have made up for this with lots of long walks with the dogs though.

Monthly goal
  • November - Write a minimum of 1,667 words a day to complete 50k in 30 days for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  I have been dipping below the word count goal on quite a few occasions but always catch up the following day. I have done 2k today but still need another 692 to get caught up.

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.

Sunday Check-In - #ROW80 and #NaNoWriMo

Good start, bad finish.

Weekly goals:

  • Two book reviews a week. Done, but again, only because I got ahead in previous weeks. This week I only read one and a half books and the good lead I had is starting to dwindle away.
  • 5 blog posts a week. No. I didn't get a post out on Monday but I am going to suspend those posts during November as I think I have enough writing on my plate.
  • Visit and comment on the blogs of at least 5 other #ROW80 participants every week. Epic fail. Sorry everyone, I will make up for it next week.
  • Exercise at least three times a week and eat more healthily. Managed one measly workout, must try harder next week!

Monthly goal
  • November - Write a minimum of 1,667 words a day to complete 50k in 30 days for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  I got off to a great start but by the end of the week I was starting to flag. I did manage to keep just ahead of the necessary total word count for each day, but then this weekend I have fallen way behind. On the plus side I have a very clean and tidy house, funny how that works isn't it?

Sunday Check-In - #ROW80 and #NaNoWriMo


As predicted, due to half-term this week, my productivity took a nose dive. My son is back at school again next week though so hopefully I will be able to play catch-up then.

Weekly goals:

  • Two book reviews a week. Done, but only because I got ahead in previous weeks. This week I haven't even finished reading one book, although I am 80% of the way through it and plan to have it finished tonight.
  • Write a minimum of 100 words of new fiction every weekday. This didn't happen until Friday when NaNoWriMo started.
  • 5 blog posts a week. No. I completely forgot to post my weekly inspirations on Friday so only 4 times this week.
  • Visit and comment on the blogs of at least 5 other #ROW80 participants every week. Done. To make up for last week I actually doubled this and visited ten.
  • Exercise at least three times a week and eat more healthily. Not a chance with a four year old at home.

Monthly goal
  • October - Complete the NaNo Road Map course. Done. 
  • November - Write a minimum of 1,667 words a day to complete 50k in 30 days for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  On target with 5025 words so far.
