Mes écrits en tout genre, parfois accompagnés d'illustrations (mais pas de moi les illus' !!).
Hi everyone!
I was going to prepare my usual Sunday check-in in advance because we're going on a weekend getaway when it hit me: this week is actually wrap-up time!
So here I am, looking back on what was quite a nice Round after all. It started badly enough with lots of craziness and tensions, but at least it kept improving and now I'm seeing lots of progress has been made.
Which is the perfect realization before a relaxing break, by the way.
Anyhow, I'll assess my progress in terms of PASS and FAIL as usual, adding blue comments on how things went.
How about you? How did you do this Round? Let me know in the comments. I hope you're well, wherever you are!
Color code:
0-10% in red
11-24% in shades of pink
25-39% in shades of orange
40-59% in yellow
60-99% in shades of green
100% (or yearly goal met) in flashy green
Normally, there's also blue for progress and pause in purple, but right now i'll focus on numbers and only goals where progress has been made.
WRITING:
Sci-fi erotica series Miss Chief in Wonderland: PASS: I finished the first draft for episode 2 this week, actually. So I'm a little ahead of schedule right now.
WORK:
Promotion: Over the summer, Hubby and I will build a communication strategy to get more business our way in September (since the summer is always slow). 15% FAIL: We never really got down to it, mostly because we had so much more on our minds.
Online courses: PASS: Not quite as forward as I expected to be but all things considered, doing OK.
Quality certification: PASS: Making steady weekly progress.
Story Time: PASS: Also making steady progress and I even completed a goal today. ^^
PUBLISHING:
Curiouser & Curiouser (my debut novel, in French only for now): I'll keep track of reviews and sales, while marketing the book some more. 100% PASS: Sales are good enough; I'll think about marketing some more at some point, but right now, I just want to write so I guess it will be around the release of the sequel.
Red Hot Spring: I'll make the final preparations to publish in August and market. 93% PASS: Not exactly finished but what's left is marketing.
We Missed Each Other: I'll start making preparations once Red Hot Spring is ready. 41% (Beta-reading: 40%) PASS: I made the necesary preparations and am finalizing the text with the help of beta-readers.
"Hour of the Wolf": 55% PASS: The piece was accepted, the contract is signed, now just a few edits to the manuscript; there were a few communication hiccups because og the Gmail crash at the beginning of the month so depending on the deadline I'll get, I'll keep going or revoke the contract.
PERSONAL:
Daily Goals this week: 100% PASS: All weeks were green. ^^
Weekly goals: 75% PASS: All green too.
House renovation: PASS: We're finally sleeping in our parental suite! It's not 100% done but now it's mostly decorating and furnishing, so as far as renovation goes, we're moving it to completed projects. :D
Housework: 85% PASS: We reached that goal way early in the Round and reminders make sure we keep things up.
Self-improvement: I'll keep learning as a teacher, writer and parent. PASS: I completed several courses over the Round. I might go easy on myself next Round and focus more on meditation for that bit.
Physical health: I'll try and be more and more active while making sure to give myself enough time to relax too and avoid burning out as a side effect of Hubby's slipped disk. PASS: I registered for a yoga class, and I'm definitely more active, walking a lot most days and moving around the house to get things done.
Mental health & journalling: THIS WEEK: 100% PASS: I never missed a day of journaling. ^^
Reading: I'll try to read daily. PASS: I'm not reading daily but I'm definitely reading more!
- paperback: 11%
- ebook: 36%
- research: 18%
- Emotional intensity: 73%
Beta-reading: 8% PASS: Current beta-reading is on hold but I did beta-read 3 books.
Writer's website: 100% PASS: New website is online () and I'll start blogging from there next Round. :D
