Okay! I am horrible at this. But! I have a new plan. And it’s… pretty similar to my LAST plan. I intend to start blogging book reviews. And try to write coherent commentary on whatever I’m watching. And try to be better about keeping y’all updated on what I’m working on. So, first of all, today, a bit a breakdown of my plan.
This is going to be a bit of a public diary/accountability tool.
I have committed to a thing called Dectheshelves. Basically, a bunch of us are each buying a book a day the first 25 days of December from Indie authors. I want to read at least those 25 books and write reviews of them during 2019.
I have also decided to do a half-milwordy in 2019. I have the never-ending revision of Sangue Collina Book 1 that I intend to at least have ready to send to editors and beta readers by my birthday (Which is July 1). I also want to get first drafts of both Sangue Collina Book 2 and a fantasy novel I’m going to be writing as the project for a writing class I’m taking. Between that and my fanfiction, and counting my blog posts, 1,370 words a day should be doable.
I’m on a mission to get myself more organized. So, trying to clean/organize and stuff. Hopefully, the accountability posts on that will not be needed for very long. I am also trying to lose weight. So, there will be a bit of an exercise log in there, too.
Format for the daily accountability posts will be:
- Yesterday’s final word count, and running totals for the month and year
- A bit of discussion about what writing I worked on the day before
- A quick note on whether I stayed in my calorie budget, my step count, and exercise log
- A quick note on which book I’m reading, and where I’m at in it.
What is complicating this a bit is that there will be days when I post up to three blog posts in one day. Which makes me wonder if I’m going to end up annoying the tar out of people. But, there will be my daily accountability post; possibly a commentary on whatever I’m watching, or something of that sort; and possibly a book review.
Anyway… Speaking of commentary on what I’m watching… I’m seriously wanting to do ANOTHER marathon of The Originals. One episode a day. And blog my favorite scenes from each episode and why I love them. Mostly, these will be my favorite Haylijah moments. Because, 12 Monkeys may have claimed the top spot as my favorite tv show of all time, but… as much as I love Cassie and Cole, Hayley and Elijah are still my OTP.
Technically, this is basically my New Year’s Resolutions list. But, I’ll probably be starting at least part of it, today. Which means, I’ll probably be back tonight with a discussion about Episode 1 of The Originals.
