“Write More” Project-Plan – Status Report – Week 1

In the “My Plan – My Goal: To Write More” post, this past Friday, I said, “I plan to report my progress at the end of each week. Sunday or Monday, I will post a progress report on this blog.”

This post is my first progress report.

Progress

My stated goal for this week was to write (and post) at least 3 to 4 articles.

I wrote what I called my “Resumption” post titled “New Beginning – Writing – Again“. I posted it on Monday to all three of my blogs: “Star Stuff Writer”, “Star Stuff Life”, and “Dementia: The Path Beyond the Tears”.

I wrote what I called my “Announcement” post titled “My Plan – My Goal: To Write More“. I posted it on Friday to “Star Stuff Writer”.

I wrote a post titled “A Cat Named Cleo” and posted it on Sunday to “Star Stuff Life”.

So – three articles written – and published.

Obstacles

This past week, my obstacles, or difficulties, didn’t come much from general procrastination. Tuesday was laundry day, and that always carves a big hole in the day. My “Announcement” post took a good several hours to craft. Then my 5-page, “chatty” note to my Mother this weekend took rather a long time. I was telling her about starting my new project.

Next week is going to be a challenging week. I need to take my friend to a doctor’s appointment on Monday, late afternoon.

Then I have an Alzheimer’s Association support group meeting Tuesday morning. And I have an Alz Assoc sponsored talk Tuesday evening. It’s given by my friend’s neurologist, and it’s titled “Medical Overview”. Also Tuesday is laundry day.

I have an Alz Assoc support group meeting Wednesday evening – with a different group than Tuesday morning.

I need to write at least 3 to 4 articles next week – and publish them. I need to write a speech for Toastmaster – to be given the following Monday. And there are a few other things I must write next week.

And so …

I’ll give it my best shot.

And if I succeed! As I said in my “Announcement” post – “If I succeed, then we proceed.”

Wish me luck.
