How’s your April going so far? Weather-wise, it’s been all over the place here, and because the weather has so much impact on what we do, it’s meant a lot of adjusting as things change. But it keeps one flexible. And it’s such fun to watch the weather roll around between the mountains.
Anyway, as usual, I feel like I’m behind where I want to be, and I’m trying to stop beating myself up about it. Here’s what’s gotten done so far:
2021 Taxes
2022 First Quarter Taxes
4th COVID vaccine
5 LOIs
One video conference w/a prospective client
Working on the house (decorating/unpacking/cleaning)
Kept up with meditation practice
Kept up with yoga practice
Work on two radio plays (both still in progress) as part of Dramatists Guild End of Play program
Kept up with script coverage
Kept up with book reviews
Worked on contest entries
Roughing out the anthology story in my head
Failed attempt to get the car fixed
2 short story submissions
Lots of planting
Virtually attended a 5-day summit on the teaching of Pema Chödrön
Updated my Fearless ink website
In conversations with 2 different producers for 2 different radio projects
Built the Pages on Stages website
What’s missing from this list is work on The Big Project, which kept getting bumped, and on the edits for CAST IRON MURDER. Those have to go back on and get caught up on for the second half of the month, along with other deadlines.
It’s not a bad list, it’s just that some items that need to be on it aren’t. So I will have to adjust for the second half of the month.
Goals, Dreams, and Resolutions
