Last Week's Wishes
1. Catch up on reading: I... read a little bit. Still working on Doctor Sleep. I read a lot of blogging tips and things like that, but I definitely need to focus on reading for fun more often. Perhaps I should block out 15 minutes before bed to dedicate to reading instead of using that time to click around on my computer. It's an addicting use of time but not very productive at all. I think we can all attest to that, yes?
2. Be more present at work: I think I did pretty good with this one. We had a lot of fun things going on this week at school what with Valentine's Day, Jump Rope for Heart, and Field Day, so I got to enjoy my time with the kids. That said, I still find myself stressing about various aspects of the job during the day, so I still want to keep working on this goal.

This Week's Wishes
So I'm going to keep working on last week's goals and add one more, because guess what Steven got me for Valentine's!
Write, write, write!: I am going to be working my way through a writer's workshop class! Which is awesome, because writing my own fiction has always been a dream of mine, but it's hard to get my ass in gear when it comes to actually sitting down and putting pen to paper. So, here's to actually writing! But first... to choose which class I actually want to take the most. And also, yes, that is a piano song book underneath. I'm trying to reteach myself how to play at the moment.
As always, I'll keep you updated on how I do this week. By the way, weekly wishes is a link-up The Nectar Collective hosts each week where people write about their goals or challenges they want to achieve for the week. Hence... weekly wishes!


So I've also been trying to get myself back to 'reading for fun'. I used to read a lot in my spare time during Harry Potter era, and once it finished (and the movies too!) I slowly read less and less... Good luck on your writing goal! Would be awesome if you actually publish it! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, a fellow Potterhead! n__n Yeah, I devoured those books... several times. Thanks, here's hoping it goes well!
DeleteI go to bed a little early so I can read for a bit. it's a good way to wind down and usually helps me fall asleep faster! much better than checking my twitter feed again ha.

Yeah, exactly. Twitter is a time vampire. :) Have a great day!
DeleteI really like this weekly wishes thing. I think I'm gonna try to start up with that on my blog next week! And as for reading, I can totally relate! I need to go to bed earlier to be able to read in bed for a bit, usually I don't think about it until it's really too late to read. I want to read a couple chapters, it's hard for me to read for just 15 minutes! Haha :)
