Setting small specific goals are really working out so far, so I think I’ll stick with that for now. 

I’ve written 692 words this week, and I’m hoping to add on to that today, even if it’s 100 words.  Last week, I ended up doing around 1000 words or so, and while I’m not neccessarily aiming for that, I still have more words than I would have written otherwise.  There’s nothing really new I can odd, other than Harry and Ron somehow ended up in the underworld, and they most definitely were not supposed to be there.   

The character profiles are also coming along okay.  I didn’t answer every question, mostly because I wasn’t sure of how the character would react.  I always want to fill the thing out completely, but at the same time, if I’m not sure of something, it’s easier to leave it blank and come back to it.  I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back and work on it or if I’ll wait until I actually start writing to go back to it.  Sometimes it’s better to wait and see what unfolds as opposed to planning every little detail. 

I also went to the gym, which was great.  My biggest problem is getting myself there, especially since I spend most of my time at home.  This week, setting a goal (going twice) seemed to work out well, so I will go 3 times next week.

The 100 book challenge is going okay.  I’ve been keeping track of the books here at my blog, plus I’ve been using goodreads.  According to them, I’m 6 books behind, but there’s no doubt I’ll be able to read 6 more books this month.  Plus, I checked out some books from the library, so that’ll help out some too.  I don’t know why I stopped checking books out from the library, but I’ll definitely be doing that more often.

So here are my goals for next week: I will write 150 words for the giant prehistoric chicken, turning point, and a 3rd novel of my choosing.  I will work on the last page of my character profiles that I’ve been working on the last couple weeks.  I already mentioned my gym goal for the week.  And I’ll have 1-2 books read in the next week.
