Weekly Goals #3: The Goals

Okay! This week I should be able to get more done but we will see how it goes! So, without further ado...this week's goals!

#1: Overlap of one of last week's goals - Finishing the colors of the dragons in my storyline. Made it close, but still gotta finish them up! I would like to get the ending of the story figured all out too, but we will see how the last of the dragons go, and go from there.

#2: This week, I'm going to go a little more on the spiritual side and read my scriptures at least once every day for at least ten min each day. I've REALLY slacked off in this area, and it's time I kicked my butt back into gear and got going on that again.
#3: Last night, I was talking to a couple of friends and decided I really need to do more arts and crafts things again! So this week I want to try to do at least one art project, even if it's just drawing a dragon or something. I'll post pics at the end of the week of what I get done!

So, there are this next week's goals. Let's hope I can keep pushing myself to get things done and be more productive, yes? Until next time! Also, please go check out my other blog for more info on my story. I should be putting up another post on there with a more in-depth update. And remember to click "Follow" too, so I know people are actually interested in hearing about it!

Weekly Goals #2: Wrap-up

Once again I'm a little late posting because this week I've had SO much to do! I have been working both the raspberry picking and working at Lee's almost every day this week! (Mon-Fri for Raspberries and Mon-Sat for the Bakery). So It's been a looong week! However, it was fairly successful with my goals!
I did really well on not saying "I hate people." I caught myself starting to say it quite a few times and even Matt helped catch me when I would say it, so it worked out pretty well. I'll continue to try to not say it while I work on more goals this week.
As for finishing the colors of the dragons for my storyline...well, didn't quite finish them, BUT...I DID get a few other kinks in the beginning of the storyline mostly figured out and the Blue Dragons' part completely finished and already have the idea for the Gold's part so just have to type it up and then get the Red's done. As I near the end of the dragon colors, it gets harder and harder to come up with something for them. So, didn't quite finish this goal yet, but I did have very limited time this week and got a lot done for the time I did have. I'll just stretch it out a little longer and overlap it with this next weeks goals.
I'm really enjoying setting goals for myself so I am almost forced to get some things done to better myself and to keep this story rolling, so for now I'm going to continue to do it. Hope I don't bore you with it all! If I do, oh well, you'll live. :P haha Hope everyone had a great week, and I'll post next week's goals in a little bit!

Weekly Goals #2: The Goals

Okay! Week #1 was a success so now it's time for Week #2! I'm a little late posting these goals because I've been pretty busy, but here they are now!
For the first goal, I want to do everything I can to avoid using the phrase "I hate people"...I say it way too much and I should be better haha So, for this week I'm going to refrain from using that phrase and from the negative thoughts that accompany it as much as I can. It's going to be tough because there are a lot of people that do things that make me mad, but we will see how this goes!
The second goal for this week has to do with my story again. I find that when I have a goal to get something done on it, I push harder to do it. So for this week I'm going to say I want to go ahead and finish the last of the dragon colors in my story-line. It's a little more than last time so I can build up slowly to get more and more done each week. Gotta push myself or it will never get done!
A review of my progress on these goals will be posted at the end of the week!
Wish Me Luck!

Weekly Goals #1: Wrap-up

Success! I was able to complete both goals this week! Wrote a long letter to Elder Scott Crowther and sent it out. It felt good to vent out a bunch of my problems and thoughts, knowing he will read it and write back to me, because he is so good at that. I'm glad I finally got that sent out and I hope he got it.

I also figured out the Brass Dragons' part in my storyline! I finished the White Dragons' part, and figured out the Brass, and even have an idea for the next color, which are the Blues. I still have to work on that part and get it typed up, but mostly I think I've got that figured out. So exciting!

Feels good to reach the goals I set for myself! Makes it feel like I at least accomplish a couple of things in a week. :)

New Blog For My Story!

Just created a new and separate blog just for my story updates so it's easier to keep track! Go check it out! http://heartofadragonseries.blogspot.com/

Weekly Goals #1: The Goals

Okay, as I mentioned in my last post, I'm going to start setting one or two goals for myself every week. Some will take longer and overlap into other weeks, while others will be shorter. Anyway, for this week I'm going to write/send a letter to at least one missionary on their mission, if not two. I've put it off for too long, so I need to get some sent out. The other goal for this week is to figure out at least the next color of dragon's part in my storyline. I'll hope for more, but at least one is my goal. The next color of dragon I have to figure out (after I quickly wrap up a couple of things for the White Dragon's part) is the Brass Dragons. Okay, well here goes nothing! I'll post again probably in about a week as to how it all went!

Piece By Piece, The Masterpiece Forms

The story is coming along! A bit slowly at the moment because I'm lazy and haven't wanted to sit down to focus on it for a while, but it's still slowly coming together. I have just had a lot of stress keeping me from focusing on anything else lately. Hopefully that will soon change. I decided I want to make a bigger map with more land I think. Not sure if I will just shrink all of the things I have on the map now so there is more space in between everything or if I will just add more pieces of land around it, but I'm definitely going to have to change it a little. I have been doing quite a bit of reading lately and watching Netflix and both have given me more ideas for things to happen in my story. My plan is to get the map finished and work more on the plot and make a step by step plan for how I want things to happen and be revealed. Then after that its developing my characters and their characteristics. I'm pretty excited for that part. I have been going through all the music on my computer and separating them into playlists based on the emotion I get from the songs so that when I'm writing a sad part I can put on the sad playlist and not suddenly have an action song come on. Listening to the right music really sucks me in and I can write better and with more emotion to convey to my readers. Usually if the music has words tho, it's harder for me to concentrate so I try to stick to instrumentals, especially Epic Music. Hope to have more info for another update soon because that means I actually got some work done on it! ;)
