Another week, another list

Poetmom inspired me to make a list of goals for the week (after being inspired by me-- TI had it write when she talked about the circularity of inspiration!) I keep forgetting things. Additions in red.

Here's what I'd like to get done this week/weekend:

Writing
  • Finish draft of the short, short story I wrote about here
  • Get down a super sloppy draft/brainstorm of an essay on the havoc Chloe wreaked on my and Bug's relationship when we first got her. (Fun times!)
  • Get self organized for class I'm teaching Monday on freelance writing (at the Boston Center for Adult Ed)
  • I also have like 10 freelance pieces to get through. I love the fact that my editors want to get ahead so we don't have to work around Christmas, but sending me 10 pieces to do this weekend gave me a heart attack.

Etc.
  • Sprinkle wildflower seeds and mulch the garden for winter
  • Finish knitting my hat and scarf
  • Unpack winter clothes from basement
  • Organize basement and decide what to give away to goodwill
  • Take pictures at the park of the beautiful trees
  • Bake pumpkin chocolate cookies (and eat them)
Sense a theme here? Winter is coming! Best Blogger Tips

You are vastly more organized and efficient than I'll ever be.

I stand in awe. AWE, I say.

LOL FC. That's the beauty of lists. They make you look organized. :)

TI said...

Welcome back. I agree with FC, you are sooooo efficient and organized! This list didn't stress me out -- I think that the tone of your lists (if lists have a tone) gets more intense as the deadline approaches. I can just imagine how freaky your lists would be if you were doing National Novel Writing Month.

You're both sweet. TI, I'll have to think of that tone thing. I definitely feel calmer now than I did a few weeks ago. Funny! (Maybe it also has to do with the reader's stress levels???)

Now the "bake pumpkin chocolate cookies--and eat them" is the type of item that should be on everyone's list. :)

Writer Bug said...

FC, I like your thinking!

Um...you forgot "bake more cookies and bring them to the next writers group meeting, at Don's..."
