I just turned in my last assignment for my first MBA class. And I wrote over 1,000 words for Blood to Fire this week. So on the one hand, I’m feeling like I accomplished a lot (including, did you see my fourth-wall Friday post over at Cabin Goddess?), on the other, I’m also feeling like … Completion and Continuation
It’s been one of those weeks… Where your allergies poke through your sinuses like a distracting spear and generate regular headaches of epic proportions. So it’s been easy to rationalize feeling too tired to face all my many goals and deadlines. The good thing: I still managed to stay ahead of my schoolwork and turn … Allergy Season
This week I had to turn in the first draft of my major research paper for class. I had chosen to write about the changes in the publishing industry, since that is a topic that profoundly interests me as an indie author. But I’m supposed to focus on it from a management perspective, and that … Process and Change and Leadership
It’s mid-term week for me already… and you can see what that’s done to my posting schedule. I missed Sunday altogether, and I’m contemplating the need to shift my posting dates, since my degree program’s standard due dates are Wednesdays and Sundays. This being mid-term week, that means I had discussion board responses due tonight, … ROW80: Final Check-in
Another week of graduate school under my belt; all assignments turned in before their due dates/deadlines. That is actually starting to feel like a major accomplishment (and a goal worth reporting on), since this week I was assigned a literature review in preparation for the final paper for the course. That meant I wrote close … ROW80 Check-in: Puppy Birthday
It’s the official end of the first week of graduate school for me… Even though I didn’t get to log in to my class until Wednesday evening–when I discovered that was also the deadline for my first assignment. Luckily, the professor was very understanding, and that deadline got pushed until Friday, but it was definitely … ROW80 Check-in: School Trumps Elvis
I had been doing so well. This week, though, I managed less than 1/10th of my goal: Not quite 500 words added to my current WIP. I had plans to get more done yesterday, or even today, but somehow, sleeping won out. Something about going to a friend’s parent’s funeral just saps me–and this summer … ROW80 Check-in: Lazy Days and Mondays
It’s possible I’m going a little overboard with excitement this week… But I actually managed to finalize the print design AND the blurb, and now my second book is live for purchase online. 🙂 This time I have a nifty 3-D image of what the paperback looks like, too. 🙂 Yes, there was much rejoicing … ROW80 Check-in: Dementional PUBLISHED
Next milestone complete: I finished ALL my edits and sent the final Word doc to my publisher in preparation for posting the eBook version of Dementional. Now I need to format the print version over the next couple of days. I just went back and found the original list of my goals through October: Participate … ROW80 Check-In: Dementional Publication Coming
I know, technically, it’s no longer Sunday, but I still wanted to post an update. An exciting one, at that: I MET MY GOAL! 🙂 I just finished incorporating all the changes my editor suggested, and am thrilled to be at the phase where I’ll be doing a read-through for any final tweaks and formatting … ROW80 Check-In: Victory
