2015 ROW80 - Round 1 Goals

I've been a bit slack on writing since NaNoWriMo, adding only about 1,000 words to my book. I've done a lot of reading and researching, but not a lot of words were put onto the page. Perhaps I needed a break from the immensity that was winning NaNoWriMo, but it's been a couple of months and I want to get The Page & the Magician written.

Enter ROW80, which is a Round of Words in 80 days.

My goal? 20,000 words added to "The Page & the Magician" in the 80 days.

The neat thing about this target is that it's workable around life. If I get more than 20k, I can tweak it. If I suddenly have to work longer hours, I can tweak it. Since I have to link this goal post to the ROW80 linky page, there's accountability to the community of other people doing ROW80.

This should help give me a little push in the "write" direction and help me achieve my major goal of completing this novel this year.

Ciao,

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February!  Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker  and query agents. - Complete The Curse of...  and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.

Frisky Friday - Maple Syrup Porn

[caption id="attachment_10523" align="alignright" width="300"] Image created using Bitmoji[/caption] While delving into some Canadian film history this week, I learned that there is a thing called Maple Syrup Porn. I laughed when I read the term. I thought, "Is our adult film industry really called Maple Syrup Porn?" It's not. Some is Canadian, but it mostly refers to getting around censorship of sex. It was not only common in Quebec due to religion, but several places in the US. You can read more about it here . If you're looking to heat things up this weekend, consider a sweet old film from the early days of the sexual revolution. Maybe even drizzle a little syrup on your partner ;) Guid cheerio the nou, R~
