Update: Not the best, not the worst of weeks (2025.07.25)
by Tobber Author IconMail Icon
As always, I'm late with the update. I have no other excuse than it being a busy Friday and busy weekend in general with lots of work and home improvement projects.

It wasn't exactly my best writing week, but considering how things are work and that I just got back from vacation, I guess it went all right.

Core Goals

*Boxcheck* Write, edit, or outline every day: Check. Mostly I did edits, which was great, because I didn't think I would have the energy for that. I didn't get around to doing an entry for the Lodestar, but I'm okay with that (there's always next month).

*Boxcheck* *Boxcheck* Get exercise: I had planned on getting 2-3 exercise session in, but I managed five (plus a lot of manual labor around the house which counts for a bit as well, so I'm giving myself double marks for this one.

*Box* / *Boxcheck* Stop snacking: I didn't manage to stay completely sugarfree, but I did okay.

*Boxcheck* Participate in the weekly Codex lunch: Another check mark, and an important one, since the online lunches are taking a month-long break.

*Boxcheck* Do vocal exercises: Another success.


Stretch Goals

*Box* Do a WdC review: Sigh... Failed this one, but I'm hoping to change things this week.

*Boxcheck* Catch with Codex: Went through the forums and without really participating much, but with the backlog built up doing my vacation, that was about all I could hope for.

*Boxcheck* Do a blog post: Yes, finally! This has been a goal for more than a month, but I finally got the blog post done.

*Box* Submit stories: Ugh, no. Another goal I have to push for this week.

*Box* Do a WYRM review: And another one. I really need a full evening or two where I can focus on nothing else but submitting and reviewing.
