What Did You Do This Week, Gail? July 4 Edition

Goal 1. Adhere to Goals and Objectives. I told you to expect more more whining this week. It was a rough one. The two days I expected to be able to work? I ended up spending part of them with Andy the Plumber. Low performance week. I wasn't even able to get much exercise in. I was kind of humiliated in tai chi class yesterday, too. Self-esteem not at a high point. In fact, not even sure where it is.

Goal 2. Prepare Mummy Hunters for Submission. That new draft I started was all about voice. I thought I found it. Was quite excited. But I wasn't happy about the structural changes I'd made and would have to continue making. Waily, waily. To get myself up off the mat, I'm going to try to force the voice into the last draft. That could work. That's what I'm telling myself this weekend, anyway.

Goal 3. Generate New Short Work/Programs. I made a pitch. Pitching is good. I'm probably not going to be pitching the workshops I'd been thinking about.

Goal 5. Community Building/General Marketing/Branding
