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?

Since I just woke up after sleeping in (and working nights), this begins my day. I'll hopefully remember to report back and do the poll before bed. If not, I'll post tomorrow!

The next three days are my weekend, so I have free time. However, Wednesday is my anniversary, so....

At least last night at work, the two main characters in my WIP, Faith, were talking both to me and to each other, so I got some insight and dialogue that excited me. We'll see if I can put that on a page today.

I have no set way of reaching writing goals, my life is a little too... unorchestrated. And my time on work days quite limited. This month I plan to check in here every day and at least leave a trail of how I'm doing. I need to finish this WIP.

Also, may sign up for Not Prime Time. We'll see.

Sometimes check-ins work for me because I'll write something just so I can say I did it. *g* I can be suckered with gold stars and smiley faces, too. Good luck with getting some writing time in.
