Assignment 20100903 – Time Commitment

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.
