todisturbtheuniverse My goals were:
I fiddled with some other Stardew Valley fic and an old story I've never managed to get off the ground, too--a Josephine/f!Adaar fic that would cover their transition from friendship to romance. It's a fic I've had on the backburner probably since 2015, and every six months or so I get aggravated I haven't finished and posted it, pick it up, add something to it, and inevitably put it back down again. I have a long break from outside responsibilities (my writer's group doesn't meet again until February 3rd, my Pathfinder group not until February 9th), so I might manage to make some significant progress on it in between working on other stuff. We'll see.
Lower word count this week of 6,811, for a total of 19,086 so far this month. I'm also averaging about 65 minutes spent writing per day, though this varies from the 5 minute minimum (that's happened once this month) to more than 3 hours one notable day.
I read Thrawn: Alliances and started Catalyst this week. Steadily working my way through new canon. Part of the reason for this is that I'm trying to spend less money overall, and these books were already purchased over the course of six months or so last year. I'm so guilty of being That Person who buys books even when they still have stuff they've already bought to read, so I'm trying to rectify that. Even though so many other books are calling my name.
Finally, between the 8th and the 14th I technically only got two days of actual exercise (walks on both weekend days) but I also made a point of getting up from my desk every hour while I was at work and taking a 5-ish minute walk, which usually gets me pretty close to my step goal for the day. Still not bad.
- Write 5 minutes daily - check
- Read 1 book per week - check
- Exercise 3 days per week - not quite from Tuesday-Monday; only 2 times by those parameters
