Month Five, Day One!

[wintergrey]

Today is my unbirthday and also May Day, so it is one of my favourite days. It's the start of the May challenge, too.

So, how do you go about reaching your goals? Do you plan it out step-by-step, set deadlines, poke at it, do it all as fast as you can, or wait until the last minute? Have you ever wanted to try a different strategy? How are you going to do it this month?

Jees, I knew in my head that it was the 1st of the month, but it completely went past me that it was a new writing month as well. Ah well. Plotted out a new plot for my sgagenfic, since the other one wasn't going anywhere at all. I'll see how this one gets on tomorrow.

As for reaching my goals, well I would like to be one of those people who plans it step by step and set myself deadline (okay I do that just now, they just tend to go wheeching past and make me feel bad) but I do tend to be more of the last minute type. I am getting better though at not quite so last minute. I'm not sure how I'm doing it this month, I'm up to my eyeballs in tutoring stuff the now, but once the exams are past on the 14th, things will be easier.
