Until I have an edit...I don't do writing goals. Until I have an editor with a deadline, I impose NONE on my writing. My writing is my freedom and my fun and MUST stay that way.<br /><br />Also, you're still writing, you're not stumped, or blocked or whatever, and you might put yourself in that position if you don't just relax...Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-6381937090629007992011-07-01T13:24:32.720-07:002011-07-01T13:24:32.720-07:00Hah, I think I've fallen short of my writing g...Hah, I think I've fallen short of my writing goals so many times that I've almost come to expect it. In all honesty, things fluctuate. Some parts are really hard to get through and, even though there aren't as many words, completing them is a huge triumph. Progress is progress. As long as you're moving forward, you're doing great!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981159884498574786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-84535554368122421302011-07-01T13:13:45.239-07:002011-07-01T13:13:45.239-07:00Oh yes, absolutely.

Soemtimse though, you do have to step back and realize it's not completely in our control.<br /><br />A while back I decided I was going to finish a WIP by writing 2k a day. The next day I hit a big fat writer's block. It made me realize it was okay not to always meet my goals.<br /><br />Good luck with your writing. I'm sure the writing you are doing is wonderful, even if it's not the exact amount you'd like :)Juliana L.

I think I'm Wonder Wom...I'm the exact same. I think I'm Wonder Woman, and am always disappointed with myself when I prove that I am a fallible human being. I'm what's known as a neurotic perfectionist. I always judge myself far more harshly than anyone else.Christine Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168406879681616375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363187649278189370.post-81153301187106008482011-07-01T12:26:08.389-07:002011-07-01T12:26:08.389-07:00:-(
I know the feeling. I think it's a misera...:-(<br /><br />I know the feeling. I think it's a miserable version of procrastination. Realizing how little you've gotten done and then being paralyzed by that so you still can't get it done.<br /><br />Don't know if it helps or not, but the key to moving targets/deadlines is to recognize they were unrealistic before you get there (which you have), recognize why, and reset the date.<br /><br />And no, I've never been able to take that advice personally, but I'm told it's an effective way to work ;-) Good luck to you, and I hope you find more time next week ^_^Loralie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134452749240292803noreply@blogger.com
