Description:

Ever do this? You know know you need to accomplish something writerly. You make a plan to do so, and then next thing you know, several months have gone by and you still either haven't done the thing, or you aren't doing it enough?

Seems like a lot of people are guilty of that. They're going to read a new book for a chapter a day, or write 500 words, or edit 3 chapters on the weekend, and then it doesn't happen. Maybe all they need is accountability.

So here's the swap. Think of something writerly related that you'd like to do this month, and that you can log on a calendar, or a list of some kind. Could be something listed above, or something else.

Use a calendar or a list to track it. This is a free printable calendar you can use, or you can hand draw one, use a page from a physical one, or just keep the dates in a list.

At the end of the month, you're going to send your partner your goal, and a summary of how well you did, and ship it off along with the calendar/list.

This is for April, right? The description still references May...

For April 2019, I want to have a great time at my writers' retreat by

  • getting all of my pre-work (reading and writing samples) before my first plane lands.

  • meet a minimum of five people to stay in touch with post retreat

  • do something I've never done before

  • pick the brains of my International instructors

  • Learn a handful of words and the correct pronunciation.

3p.m. Addendum: Heavy, heavy sigh regarding my first bulleted point above. Just got an email that a 46-page advance reading assignment (three essays) has been added by one of the instructors.

@Nserviam it's April. I'm lazy and copy and paste

I've dropped a packet in the outgoing mailbox at work. They'll pick up in the afternoon. I guessed on the postage and hope I put on enough. Enjoy!
