Accountability check-in: start slow to restart

Hummingbird at my camera feeder, enjoying an evening snack.

So after the big software release at work, I’m getting back to the writing and everything else that goes along with the writing—and some things that don’t, like bringing in my hummingbird feeders for the season.

This weekend I restarted MTBs (Manuscript Time Blocks). These work better for me than word count goals. I’m reacquainting myself with the manuscript, checking in with all my characters, and starting to make some progress.

Also, this week, I began taking a self-paced marketing-for-introverts class, which I’m enjoying so far.

This coming week, I plan to claw back my morning writing time. I was logging on an hour earlier because of the release. No. More. Also, I’m looking forward to an actual lunch break.

Hope everyone made a little progress on something for themselves this week as well.

One thought on “Accountability check-in: start slow to restart”

  1. Hooray for releases that are out the gate! And hooray for a few minutes to find your own thoughts once again! I like the idea of the MBS (which, for me, would just be targeting periods of time when I could write, since I don’t currently have a project I’m feeling driven to write). And I like the idea of a marketing class for introverts, too.

    About which, btw, if you haven’t seen this post from Katherine May (https://katherinemay.substack.com/p/how-to-talk-about-your-work-in-public) it offers solace and a couple of good ideas as well.
