#ROW80 #ROC80: Ending – And Beginning Again



Hey there, ROW80 friends!

I haven’t been great about updating, even if I’ve been better than the last few times I’ve participated in this challenge. I’m going to work on building that better this round.

But first – my Week Twelve progress. I didn’t do as well as I’d hoped, since life got a bit too lifey for these goals to come to full fruition. Still, forward progress was made, and that’s a good thing.

Week Twelve Goals:


Completed goals:        40%
In progress goals:        20%
Still waiting goals:       40%

  1. Schedule my next #8sentencesunday excerpt for 4/1/23 and share in linky list.
  2. Begin beta pass for Rounding for Home (Aim for 5 chapters this week).
  3. Spend two hours on HTRYN Lesson 16 for On Any Tuesday Night.
  4. Follow my social media posting schedule for the week and set up the rest of April.
  5. Format ls;sf.

Week Eleven was better.

Week Eleven Goals:


Completed goals:        80%
In progress goals:       20%
Still waiting goals:        0%

  • Post in Sacred Biz Rebels and Spirit Sanctorium.
  • Begin HTRYN Lesson 16 for On Any Tuesday Night.
  • Follow my social media posting schedule for the week and set up the first half of April.
  • Format ls;sf.
Sometimes, reflection helps… Jayden, about 7, at a friends’ house long ago (they are 18 now).

As for the March and Q1 goals – nothing was completely finished. So those goals are going to be back for this round, with only minor changes to account for the progress made.

Week One Goals:

Completed goals:          0%

  3. Sign up for April CampNaNoWriMo and complete three hours of How to Revise Your Novel revision work on my fanfic novella, On Any Tuesday Night. I’ve signed up and set my 12k goal for the month (each hour worked = 1k for NaNo purposes).

How are your goals going? Do you have a favorite project? Is there a specific win you’re celebrating, or a challenge you’d like cheering on for?

ROW80/ROC80 is a writing/creativity challenge. You set your own creativity goal or goals and work on them for 80 days. If they aren’t a good fit for you, you’re free to change them. Check-ins with the community on Wednesdays and Sundays, so we can cheer you on or help you pick yourself up.

Here’s the linky to join the list.
