And though some might blink, I think that joining the RWA is probably a great move.<br /><br />An odd question... If you could, would you be willing to share the info on that electric boat motor?

IMHO, making friends is the best first step; you don't want to enter a romantic relationship with someone you don't know. Dating is like the worst way to "get to know" anyone because it's an artificial environment where both parties put on their best face. Much better to get to know someone in more organic ways BEFORE that first date. I've been married for 30+ years to my best friend so I speak from experience. Anyway, back to writing...<br /><br />Mr. Wickham made my skin crawl in P & P, so youre title perfect.

Thanks for catching that - I went back and corrected that goal... As for the time-frame, Kathrese, you make a great point about focusing on a week's worth of progress at a time. I'll make an effort to address that in a coming post!

I can't speak for your situation, but if I were to spend five hours a day on social media, I wouldn't get anything else done all day.<br /><br />As for the rest of your goals... they look good, Edward.

Coming home from A...My first suggestion?<br /><br />Breathe.<br /><br />Coming home from Afghanistan, a new job, and a new place to live are all pretty big deals. That's a lot of adjusting, in four months!<br /><br />After that - maybe this round could be about finding the joy in your life.<br /><br />I tend to have a lot of goals, and to move between them like I'm at a buffet. Like Gloria, I don't look at each round as a self-contained, all-or-nothing, venture. I tend to see the space between the end of one round and the beginning of the next as an evaluation period, where I can reshape my journey.<br /><br />I love your idea about female Marines, and I'm interested in what objections there would be to this, and what the justifications for them would be...because, really, women ought to be judged by only the criteria used for men. Disallowing them because of gender alone is discrimination..and there is ample proof that women who choose to make fine additions to military units.<br /><br />I will be going to check out your blog, partly because I love the name Gypsy Dangerously, and partly because I have a feeling it will remind me of the early years of marriage, when my husband and I lived in a 30' travel trailer (our 12 year-old's first home), and worked in national parks.<br /><br />Whatever goals you decide upon, may they bring you joy!Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104865260561251894.post-25685768100732108082013-10-10T11:53:31.357-07:002013-10-10T11:53:31.357-07:00I love this check-in.

Follow that up with one big goal (maybe one of the goals you missed or a brand new one). Instead of a big goal, two or three small goals can be used. <br /><br />And finishing is never the end of the road. Look at the time that's left and start another goal.

Yes, some ROWers (myself included) have a fiction goal as well as a total number of words or scenes, but it's not a requirement to get better at writing or to even be published. (Or rather it is, but the skills you will get from any other kind of practice will hold you and propel you to success later.<br /><br />The number of successes here, well I'm sure that you'd have rathered your successes be over and beyond your failures.
