Friday (20100903): Write a sketch of my daily/weekly schedule as it is now. Can I dedicate one hour a day to achieving my goal? Write a time commitment statement.
0500: Wake. Coffee. Assorted chores.
0700: Get ready for work.
0800: Work.
1700: Leave work.
1730: Cook and eat dinner. Assorted chores.
2100: Bed.
I usually work through lunch. I can make myself use that hour towards my writing goals.
The first 2 hours each day are very loose and unstructured. I waste a lot of that time “waking up.” When I come home in the evening, I waste a lot of time “resting” and “relaxing.”
I will dedicate one whole continuous hour each day towards my writing goals. I will work on increasing that time to 3 hours per day by the end of 2010.

excellent job outlining your goals and commitments. Good job sharing them, too.
I find I am averaging about 300 words in 3 hours.
That is a good steady pace that will definitely get you where you want to go.
I hope you'll be able to fulfill your commitments. Btw, in Indonesia it has become trend to publish books that content several short stories from a couple of writers on a given theme. The publishers give you themes, writing guidelines and deadlines. I just found many offers on FB. There are also some writers who have joined forces to publish indie books together. Just a thought to share.
Rosidah Abidin: Thanks for the tips. Those anthologies are becoming a trend here too.
